Marquis “MJ” Evans is beginning to see his recruitment take shape as several powerhouse programs remain in contact.
Evans, who stands at 6-foot-4, 235 pounds, says no program has fully pulled ahead just yet, but Auburn has made a strong impression after making changes to its staff under Alex Golesh.
“I wouldn’t say anybody is necessarily standing out in terms of leaning toward someone,” Evans told Touchdown Alabama. “But a school that has surprised me is Auburn because since the new staff came in, the relationship has grown a lot.”
Evans currently holds interest from Ohio State, Georgia, LSU, Texas and Auburn — all programs known for developing elite defensive linemen at the collegiate and professional levels.
