    Former North Carolina State quarterback Russell Wilson visited Auburn on Tuesday as he considers whether to transfer to the defending national champions, a source close to the quarterback said.

    Wilson, an infielder for the Asheville Tourists, a Class A minor league team of the Colorado Rockies, has been granted a release from NC State and has one year of eligibility remaining. Because he has graduated, he would be eligible to play immediately.

    Auburn, which lost Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton to the NFL draft, has a highly touted incoming true freshman quarterback in Kiehl Frazier. But no quarterback emerged as the Tigers' clear starter during spring practice.
