More recruits talk Auburn visits
AUBURN | Auburn had dozens of underclassmen on campus Saturday and Sunday, the last two days before the February dead period begins.
Among the large group were quarterback Will Crowder, 2022 quarterback Jacurri Brown, who received an offer from Auburn, and defensive end Keeshawn Silver and offensive lineman Dylan Fairchild, both of whom already had an Auburn offer.
Here’s what each had to say about his visit, where Auburn stands and more.

On new OL coach Jack Bicknell Jr. ...
"I like Coach Bicknell. He seems like a really genuine person, just a really good guy."
On his top schools...
"South Carolina, Auburn, Tennessee and North Carolina are really some of my top schools."
If he'll return to Auburn...
"I’ll be back in the spring. I might do some official visits before the season, some middle of the season."
On Auburn...
"I like Auburn. It’s nice here. I like the atmosphere. It’s something different. Being from out of state, it’s different facilities, different culture and different people."
On Rodney Garner...
"I like Coach Garner. He’s a cool dude. There is a lot about him that I like. I just have to build a relationship with him."
On his top schools...

On new OC/QB coach Chad Morris...

On what an offer from Auburn would mean...
"It would be really big. I know a lot of people and family at Auburn."
On his Auburn offer...
"Coach Morris, the offensive coordinator, told me (about the offer). It felt great. It made me feel like I am good enough to be here, good enough to play at Auburn and in the SEC."
On Auburn..
"I like Auburn. It’s probably the only offense that is what I want that has offered. Auburn is high for me. SEC is always high. Auburn has good tradition, especially with Cam Newton and what he did here and Nick Marshall. They have good tradition."
