With Auburn's 2018 recruiting class signed and in the books, it's time to get familiar with a new batch of prospects. Over the next several days, AL.com will provide position-by-position look at Auburn's top targets in the 2019 recruiting cycle. Today, we're analyzing the quarterback position.

TOP QUARTERBACK TARGET

Bo Nix (6-foot-2, 194 pounds, Pinson)

Nix, the son of former Tigers quarterback Patrick Nix, committed to Auburn on Jan. 10 to give the program its second overall commitment in the 2019 class. Nix is a four-star prospect who is rated as the nation's top dual-threat quarterback and the No. 75 overall prospect in the class. As a junior at Pinson Valley, Nix missed four games due to injury but completed 196-of-307 passes for 2,872 yards, 35 touchdowns and just four interceptions while leading his team to the Class 6A state title. He was the Class 6A Back of the Year and was runner-up for Alabama's Mr. Football award.

2 MORE TO WATCH

Peter Parrish (6-foot-2, 190 pounds, Phenix City)

Parrish doesn't yet have an offer from Auburn, and it's not entirely clear if the Tigers will target a second quarterback in this class. A lot of it likely has to do with whether Jarrett Stidham sticks around for his senior season and how they feel about the depth at the position, but if the Tigers choose to add a second quarterback, Parrish could be in the mix. The three-star dual-threat prospect from Central-Phenix City is rated as the nation's No. 16 dual-threat passer, and he's considered the No. 28 player in Alabama. He was on campus this year for Auburn's junior day, and currently holds just one SEC offer: Mississippi State.

David Baldwin (6-foot-4, 214 pounds, Bradenton, Fla.)



Baldwin doesn't have an Auburn offer, but he could make sense as someone Auburn could take a look at if it wants to add a second quarterback to this class. A three-star prospect out of IMG Academy, Baldwin is rated as the nation's No. 10 dual-threat quarterback. It certainly doesn't hurt that Auburn is recruiting several of his IMG Academy teammates and former Auburn running back Carnell Williams is an assistant on the staff there. Florida, Georgia, LSU, Missouri and Ole Miss have already offered, as has Arizona.

IN-STATE GLANCE

Nix is the state's top quarterback prospect, with four-star Thompson pro-style passer Taulia Tagovailoa -- the little brother of Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa -- not far behind. Tagovailoa is expected to end up with the Tide, like his brother, while four-star Hewitt-Trussville pro-style quarterback Paul Tyson (Bear Bryant's great grandson), is also projected to end up at Alabama, according to 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions. Neither Tagovailoa or Tyson hold offers from Auburn. Parrish and Wetumpka dual-threat quarterback Jadarious Martin could also be in the mix after both attended Auburn's junior day.
