Nine players from Auburn football's 2013 recruiting class reported for class Monday, June 24, increasing the number of early enrollees to 20.
Junior college transfer Nick Marshall was one of the players to arrive on campus late Sunday. The 6-foot-2 Garden City Community College dual-threat quarterback is expected to be a strong contender for the starting position under head coach Gus Malzahn's spread offense this fall. Formerly a defensive back at Georgia, Marshall will be one of four quarterbacks competing for the position.
Joining Marshall is Auburn's top 2013 recruits, five-star defensive ends Carl Lawson from Alpharetta, Ga. and Elijah Daniel from Avon, Indiana.
Safties Mackenro Alexander, Khari Harding and Brandon King also enrolled Monday with receivers Tony Stevens and Dominic Walker, kicker Daniel Carlson and linebacker Cameron Toney.
Of the three prospects not currently on campus, running back Peyton Barber is expected to be on campus later in the week. Quarterback Jason Smith will attend school in Virginia at Fork Union Military Academy before enrolling in January and wide receiver Earnest Robinson must complete summer classes at Pinson Valley High School to be academically eligible in the fall.
