Graduate transfer defensive back Marshall Taylor told AL.com Saturday he plans to visit Auburn next weekend. The news was first reported by 247Sports.

The 6-foot-2, 199-pounder from Cordele, Georgia, has tallied 109 tackles (78 solo) and three interceptions in his career at Miami University in Ohio. Last season he made 39 stops and picked off two passes in 11 starts.

Taylor stopped by Louisville Saturday and also plans on checking out Florida and Michigan State.

As a graduate transfer, Taylor would be eligible to play this fall at the school of his choice. The Tigers signed cornerbacks John Broussard and Jayvaughn Myers as well as safeties Marlon Character and Daniel Thomas in the 2016 recruiting cycle.
