Quotebook: Juniors talk visits to Auburn
AUBURN | Several juniors and sophomores attended Auburn's Junior day in early February, and among the group were some of the Tigers' top targets in the 2019 and 2020 classes.
“It was my first time at Auburn and I enjoyed it. I met coach (Travis Williams) and loved it. He’s a great coach and puts his linebackers in great position to make plays.”
Where Auburn stands…
“Auburn is very high.”
“Auburn hasn’t offered, but they said they are going to. I hope they do. I like everything about Auburn. It’s my dream school. I’ve always wanted to play for Auburn. I just love it.”
Schools considering…
“Florida, Louisville, Auburn, Alabama and Memphis. Florida and Auburn stand out. I’m visiting Florida Feb. 24 and Tennessee Feb. 17.”
“They were talking to me about playing tight end, and I’ve played a little bit of tight end but not much since middle school. I talked to Coach (Tim) Horton and he told me all the information about it.”
On an Auburn offer…
“They want me to come back for a camp to see how I could adapt and possibly play tight end.”
“They said they liked me a lot and are going to keep in touch. I talked to Coach Horton and Coach (Greg) Brown. They want me to come back for a camp and see how I do there.”
On an Auburn offer…
“That would be big for me. I grew up an Auburn fan and have liked them all my life.”
“Coach (Rodney) Garner said he really liked my film and said I reminded him of some of the players they have now. He said I also have a chance to play early.”
On his Auburn offer…
“I was excited. That was one of the ones I was waiting on. It meant a lot because Auburn is a great university."
“It was fun. We went around and checked out the facilities and met some of the coaches. I talked with Coach Brown. We had a 1-on-1 session. He asked me some questions, which position I liked better, corner or safety. I told him safety.
“All in all it was fun. Hopefully I can get back here and watch a spring practice.”
“It went great. I got to know Coach (Marcus) Woodson. They like that I’m very versatile and can play safety or corner. They want me to keep coming back here and building relationships with the coaches.”
If Auburn were to offer…
“It would mean a lot because they are in the SEC.”
“It was fun hanging with the guys and I spent the most time talking with Coach (Williams) during Junior Day.”
On former teammate T.D. Moultry’s success at Auburn…
“I really didn’t think he was going to do much because most freshmen don’t get to play much. But T.D. is going to give his all.”
His size…
“I’m 6-foot-4 and 198 pounds. They are talking about moving me to d-end this year. I’m good with it. Wherever coach needs me is where I want to be.”
Where Auburn stands…
“If I had to choose, Auburn would be my first choice. I like everything about Auburn."
“It was good. We walked around and toured all the facilities. I liked it a lot. I talked to Coach (J.B.) Grimes, Coach Horton and Coach (Gus) Malzahn. It was my third time here.”
