Auburn could be close to landing a commitment from a 2016 legacy prospect.

Stephen Davis Jr., the son of former Auburn and NFL running back Stephen Davis, named Auburn his leader after the A-Day game, and that lead has reportedly grown.

"They're still No. 1," Davis told 247Sports. "I'm still looking at them big time, and they're still looking at me.

"I want to commit right now, but I still have to visit other places and I'm just keeping it to the side right now."

The 6-foot-4, 207-pounder from Irmo, S.C., is being recruited by the Tigers as a safety. He is ranked as a four-star prospect and the nation's No. 22 athlete in the 2016 recruiting class by the 247Sports Composite.

South Carolina is No. 2 on his list and he is planning possible summer visits to Clemson, North Carolina and UCLA. Davis Jr. has visited Auburn three times, including a trip for the 2013 Iron Bowl, and plans on returning this fall.

"I enjoyed it, especially seeing Alabama get beat," Davis Jr. said in March.

His father rushed for 2,811 yards and 30 touchdowns for Auburn from 1993 to 1995 before moving on to the NFL with the Washington Redskins and Carolina Panthers.

Yeppers.  Unfortunately, he played for Terry Bowden.  The guy could have set all the rushing records on the Plains had Bowden stuck with the original offense and rode that horse.

I saw Terry ride a horse one time. It was out in front of the Kroeger on Dean road. He got stuck on it and was yelling for help and I had to go unplug it for him to get off.

I remember watching Lee Corso in December 94 say that Stephen Davis would win the Heisman in 1995.  And then 95 rolls around, and Bowden gives him the ball maybe 10 carries a game.

He came into Blockbuster Music one night when I was working, and he was drunk as shit.  I should have called the cops and told them a drunk driver was on Dean road.

That's not a very narrow statement.

It's all fun and games until his dad gives him a USCe hat to put on at his press conference.

From one of my buddies:  I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in the Davis household when the scholarship offer from Akron and Terry Bowden arrived.
