A back-and-forth SEC recruiting battle is approaching its conclusion.
Coveted defensive end Marlon Davidson will decide his collegiate fate in just a few weeks, declaring intentions to announce Sept. 4. The 6'4", 260-pound prospect is widely expected to pick between a pair of in-state powerhouses—Auburn or Alabama.
Both the Tigers and Crimson Tide have recruited Davidson since the earliest stages of a recruitment that's grown to include programs across America. Florida State, Michigan, Ole Miss, USC and Oregon are among alternative options on his expansive list of scholarship offers.
Davidson, a senior at Greenville High School, is rated third nationally among defensive ends and 23rd overall in composite recruiting rankings.
