On3 5-star edge Qua Russaw returning to Auburn on Saturday
Qua Russaw is returning to Auburn.
Russaw, an On3 five-star recruit and the No. 1 player in Alabama, is expected to visit Auburn on Saturday, according to a source close to his recruitment.
Russaw, from Carver-Montgomery, visited Auburn on March 19 for the Tigers big Junior Day. He’ll be back at Auburn on Saturday with former Tiger and current NFL defensive lineman Marlon Davidson.

The need at the edge position is something that Russaw likes at Auburn.
“It’s definitely a big deal,” Russaw said in March about Auburn’s lack of depth at the edge spot. “You can come in and start right away. They told me when Derick Hall leaves that they have one more person and then I’m good to go. I see myself fitting in it–I see myself playing at middle linebacker and like Derick Hall with how they use him.”
The On3 Consensus No. 3 edge and No. 8 overall recruit won’t be the only recruit in Auburn on Saturday.
Several others are expected to be on campus, including four-star linebacker Jaiden Ausberry, four-star defensive lineman Will Norman, four-star defensive lineman Sydir Mitchell, cornerback Dale Miller and offensive lineman Paul Mubenga.
Ausberry and Norman both arrived in Auburn on Friday and will stay until Saturday afternoon.
