Auburn football fans are convinced that Coastal Carolina quarterback Grayson McCall canceling his Plains visit this weekend is a sign that North Carolina State quarterback Devin Leary is going to commit.
Auburn Live’s Jeffrey Lee, breaking some news on a traditionally slow news block (Friday nights), revealed the potentially groundbreaking development of McCall’s reneged visit:
TRANSFER NEWS :Grayson McCall, On3's No. 4-ranked QB in the transfer portal, planned to visit Auburn this weekend.

Those plans have changed.

Of course, the development is only groundbreaking if it is accompanied by news of Leary committing, but the timing is key with Leary having arrived on Auburn University’s campus on Friday afternoon, per On3’s Keith Niebuhr.
Auburn football fans convinced Devin Leary is committing with Grayson McCall’s canceled visit
It’s natural that Devin Leary arriving on campus early and his primary competition canceling his visit led many to the conclusion that the Wolfpack signal-caller and New Jersey’s high school record-holder for passing yards and passing touchdowns would be Hugh Freeze’s first signal-caller as Auburn football head coach.
Tiger fans shared that sentiment Friday night in response to Lee’s news:
Has to be about Leary and Auburn. Thats the only thing that makes sense. Why visit a school that's already got a better player ahead. Maybe a silent commitment we don't know about yet.

Disappointing that he isn’t visiting but if this is because we’re landing Devin Leary than I’m still happy https://t.co/pqh8ihqVsK

UK needs to call McCall asap https://t.co/WTcPRoFKTP
Wonder if a certain QB visiting had something to do with it.

So glad that I haven’t had a recruiting relapse or I’d be studying this shit all night https://t.co/UDrC5iU1z4

247Sports’ Kentucky beat writer, Aaron Gershon, seems to believe that Kentucky — who was previously the favorite to land Leary — has a recruiting battle on their hands.
Hold on tight Tiger fans. The impending transfer portal storm seems to be starting…
