AUBURN, Ala. | First Academy (Orlando, Fla.) defensive end Daquan Newkirk visited Auburn over the weekend for the first time since his commitment in June, and he plans to return several more times in the fall.
The 6-foot-3, 250-pound pass rusher from Orlando, Fla. has all of his attention focused on his future at Auburn. He's not considering any other offers or visits, especially after his three-day stay on the Plains.
"I committed last month and I am solid," Newkirk said Saturday. "I've been solid and that won't change."
Newkirk spent the weekend meeting fellow recruits and talking with several of the Auburn coaches. He spoke to area recruiter Scott Fountain, defensive line coach Rodney Garner, defensive coordinator Will Muschamp and Coach Gus Malzahn.
"I also talked to most of the commitments," Newkirk said. "I talked to Woody Barrett, Landon Rice and Calvin Ashley. It was great to be able to talk to the recruits. Auburn is doing great recruiting-wise."
Newkirk will be back in Auburn in September to aide the Tigers' efforts as much as possible. If Auburn is playing at home, Newkirk plans to be there.
"I'm coming back for four games that will be unofficial visits," Newkirk said. "And I'm coming to the Iron Bowl for my official visit."
There's a reason he plans several visits to Auburn.
"I love it there," Newkirk said. "Auburn is my new home."
