Recently offered offensive tackle Favour Edwin sets official visit to Auburn
Just two weeks after earning a scholarship offer from Auburn, three-star offensive tackle Favour Edwin has scheduled an official visit to the Plains. The McDonough, Georgia product will be officially visiting on Sept. 29, according to a report from On3’s Jeffrey Lee.
Auburn is set to host the Georgia Bulldogs that weekend and it will be Edwin’s second time checking out Auburn.
He is the No. 906 overall player and No. 62 offensive tackle in the On3 Industry ranking. The 6-foot-8, 290-pounder is also the No. 102 player from Georgia.
Edwin and Auburn offensive line coach Jake Thornton communicate frequently and he is looking forward to getting to know him better.
“He’s a great dude,” Edwin said of Thornton. “We talk about more than just football and that means a lot to me. Just being involved in my life and around people like that goes a long way with me. Life is about more than just football. I like Coach Thornton, for sure. He’s one of the guys I want to meet and talk to more when I go down there.”
Edwin won’t have to work hard if he wants to find out more about the Tigers, he was teammates with current Auburn cornerback Colton Hood last season at Eagle’s Landing Christian Academy.
Auburn is still looking to land its first commitment along the offensive line in the 2024 recruiting cycle, however, that could change soon with key target DeAndre Carter set to commit on Sunday.
