Untitled — Gunner Rivers plays QB for St. Michael Catholic in Fairhope, Ala.

Auburn has options in the 2027 class at quarterback, especially with in-state prospects. One of the Tigers’ top targets is Gunner Rivers, the son of former NFL veteran Philip Rivers, who plays for St. Michael Catholic in Fairhope.

St. Michael is 2-0 to start the season after defeating John Carroll 49-28 in a road contest Friday night. Rivers played in the first half only, as St. Michael built a 49-0 lead within the first two quarters.

Here are some of the highlights from Rivers’ night, where he threw for two touchdowns.
