Top inside linebacker recruit and former Auburn commit Reuben Foster has planned an official visit to the Plains Feb. 1.
"My last official visit is going to be to Auburn," Foster said Monday Jan. 21 on New College Football Show: Next Class 2013, on Fox Sports South. "They do deserve that official visit."
Foster also said that being close to home will be a major factor in deciding where he will sign.
It just so happens that Foster's home is located in Auburn and his mother and daughter live in town.
Besides hosting Foster on the final weekend before National Signing Day, Auburn will have prospects such as Carl Lawson and Chris Jones.
The 6-foot-1, 240 pound Foster had committed to Auburn, but retracted his commitment after Gene Chizik and his staff were fired.
Foster was initially an Alabama recruit until he was pulled away from the tide by Chizik.
He may have de comitted from two schools, but that makes him no less of a talent or target for any school.
Foster has taken recent unofficial visits to Auburn, and has met with head coach Gus Malzahn and his new staff, including defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson who reportedly reminds Foster of his grandfather.
The linebacker has narrowed his potential landing spots to Auburn, Georgia, Alabama, LSU and Washington, and plans to announce who he will sign with Signing Day Feb. 6.
