AUBURN | Auburn had several of the country's top prospects on campus Saturday to attend the Tigers' annual A-Day game, including a pair of top defensive targets, one a linebacker and the other a safety.
Archer (Lawrenceville, Ga.) linebacker Donta Evans and Park Crossing (Montgomery, Ala.) safety Jeawon Taylor both made the trip to the Plains and left high on Auburn.
AU in great shape with LB
(NR) LB Donta Evans
Lawrenceville, Ga. (Archer)
On his visit and A-Day…
"It was great. It was like a game atmosphere. Sixty-two thousand fans at a spring game? That's pretty good. The game was really good. I really liked to see guys flying around to the ball."
On talking to the coaches…
"I've been down here a few times and I'm starting to get close with a lot of the coaches, Coach (Will) Muschamp and Coach (Lance) Thompson. Every time I get to talk to those guys our relationship grows and that is an important thing.
"I also talked to Coach (Gus) Malzahn. We have a great relationship, too. We had a real laid-back conversation. It was good. He asked when I was going to make it official."
On when he might 'make it official'…
"I have been to Auburn now three times so they are up there. I feel good about Auburn. I don't want to tell yet because I promised my mom I would wait until my (17th) birthday (Sept. 1)."
AU on top for DB
(NR) DB Jeawon Taylor
Montgomery, Ala. (Park Crossing)
On his visit for A-Day…
"There were a lot of people there. I didn't think that many people would show up. I thought the rain would keep them from coming, but it didn't. The game was good. I liked the way Auburn played."
On talking to the coaches…
"I got to talk to Coach T-Rob (Travaris Robinson) and Coach (Gus) Malzahn before the game, and after the game I met with Coach (Will) Muschamp and Coach (Lance) Thompson. They said I would fit great here and that I need to come."
On Auburn, his recruitment and potential offer from Alabama…
"(Alabama) Coach (Kirby) Smart is supposed to come see me in the spring and he might offer then. I would say Auburn (is my leader right now). I know Auburn is short on safeties. They need safeties. But my mom is a big Alabama fan so (Alabama offering) would be a big factor."
