Quarterback of the former North Carolina State Russell Wilson visited Auburn Tuesday it considers either transfer to the champions national, said a source close to the quarterback.
Wilson, a player for tourists Asheville, a team of minor league class a Rockies of Colorado, was granted a release from NC State and a year of eligibility remaining. Because he received his degree, he would be eligible to play immediately.
Auburn, who lost the Cam Newton Heisman Trophy, to the draft has an incoming true freshman touted quaterback Kiehl Frazier. But no quarterback emerged as starter clear Tigers during spring practice.
Earlier this month following a close person to Wilson said that he was "95 percent" certain playing college football this season and that he had been contacted by at least 12 schools. Wisconsin is also interested.
Wilson threw for 3,663 yards and 28 touchdowns season last at NC State. But the Pack decided to go with Mike Glennon as starting quarterback.
Coach of NC State Tom O'Brien, who grew frustrated with Wilson dividing its commitments between football and baseball, believes that Glennon was comparable to the former Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan tools, now of the NFL Atlanta Falcons.
Wilson, a player, played with tourists with former Clemson quarterback Kyle Parker, a fielder.
Wilson adjusts to play every day in baseball and has much thought to how it is not certain if it is ready to give up his dream of football, said the source. Wilson would be open to leave baseball earlier in June and is excited at the idea of proving he can quickly learn and succeed in a new offence.
A close person of Wilson, said the quarterback arrived in Auburn on Monday night and spent all Tuesday with coaches to try to know and the offensive manual and the schema used by offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn.
Wilson has no specific timeline to take a decision, apart from the fact that his days of baseball will be limited next month.
"This is a job interview," said the close person of Wilson. "He is trying to understand what to do with the rest of his life."
Auburn former quarterback Chris Todd had success in his first year as a licensee in a regime of offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn.
"It is possible to have success in the offence from the summer," Todd said Tuesday. "It is not easy to accomplish feat." But it can be done. You would really take the time to learn all the combinations of road and protections. But what Malzahn is really simplifies computing to a quarterback going on things so many times the week of the game you feel prepared enough to go as fast as you need.
"To play in this offence would be a chance that it would be difficult to pass." It has proved. ?
