The hunt for the next quarterback for the Auburn Tigers is underway. Bryan Harsin and the staff are officially out on three of the top four quarterbacks.
Arch Manning is being heavily recruited by the Alabama Crimson Tide, Georgia Bulldogs, and the Texas Longhorns. Manning is the No. 1 quarterback on the list. The No. 2 quarterback, Malachi Nelson has committed to the USC Trojans. The No. 4 quarterback, Nico Iamaleava recently listed his top five teams with Alabama and Tennessee Vols very much in the mix.
According to this report from 247Sports, the No. 3 quarterback in the country, Dante Moore Jr will make his second visit to the Plains.
The five-star quarterback from Detroit, Michigan, has been making the rounds on the recruiting trail. Moore won’t be the only highly-touted prospect to visit the Tigers after hosting a slew of recruits on Saturday. Other top recruits include five-star wide receiver Jalen Brown of Miami, Florida.
Getting in with Moore might be a tough sell given the other top programs in his pursuit but Harsin could sell the opportunity to play very early in his collegiate career. The LSU Tigers, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and Michigan Wolverines are among the other schools vying for his commitment.
