Decision day is near for 2027 EDGE Marquis Evans, who will announce his commitment on Wednesday, July 1. Will the Auburn Tigers be the suitor?
Evans, a four-star EDGE rusher from Spain Park High School in Hoover, will officially announce his commitment on Wednesday. Several SEC programs are vying for his pledge, but one team appears to be the heavy favorite ahead of the announcement, the Auburn Tigers.
Auburn holds a 93% forecast from Rivals to land Evans, the 6-6, 235-pound EDGE rusher from metro Birmingham. Rivals' recruiting experts Steve Wiltfong and Chad Simmons logged predictions that favor Auburn in May after Auburn recruiting insider Cole Pinkston submitted one in March. However, the picture is less clear on 247Sports, as no team has a crystal ball prediction. That could change in the days leading up to Wednesday's decision.
Florida and South Carolina appear to be Auburn's loudest challengers for Evans. Evans told 247Sports that he received great hospitality from Florida and that South Carolina has made him a priority.
Evans is a frequent visitor to Auburn, however, which may play a role in Auburn gaining the edge over its SEC rivals.
"It just feels like home," Evans said via Auburn Undercover. "I've been here four or five times now, so it's like home for me."
Auburn is stocking up on EDGE rushers this recruiting cycle after losing two last season to the NFL draft in Keldric Faulk and Keyron Crawford. The Tigers have locked in two EDGE commits this cycle in Rion Jackson and James Pace.
The addition of Evans would boost its pass rush for next season and would lock in another top 10 in-state pledge. Evans is the No. 10 player from Alabama from the 2027 cycle, and Auburn already holds the pledges of No. 2 Isaac McNeil and No. 7 Deshawn Hall.
