ATH Deron Furr (6-3 217) of Columbus, GA committed to Auburn this summer and says he's still committed to the Tigers, but he plans to take several visits including one to Clemson. "They just recently got back involved," Furr said. "I talked to coach Napier about two or three weeks ago. They're recruiting me as a free safety." Furr also plans to visit Auburn, Alabama, Florida State and South Florida. He's not set any dates but might visit Auburn this weekend. Auburn and South Florida are recruiting him as a quarterback, Florida and Alabama as a free safety. "I like whichever position that will get me to the league," he said. "My Auburn commitment is real firm but I want to make sure I'm making the right decision." This season Furr rushed for 900 yards, passed for 1800 yards and accounted for 28 touchdowns.

ATH Deron Furr (6-3 217) of Columbus, GA has decided not take any other official visits besides his one to Auburn this weekend. He has been committed to the Tigers since June. He had talked recently about visiting Clemson, Florida State, Alabama and South Florida. "I'm supposed to be enrolling early (at Auburn), so it would be hard to take other trips," Furr said. He will start out at Auburn as a quarterback.

AUBURN NOTEBOOK: Furr a no-show at practice Sunday | Opelika-Auburn News
Quote:
Published: August 4, 2008
DeRon Furr keeps moving. But his latest move appears to have left his head coach in the dark.
Furr, a true freshman, enrolled early at Auburn to play quarterback. Then, after spring practice, he switched to defensive back.
Sunday, Furr was on the move again — although this time, no one seems entirely sure where he’s heading.
Furr didn’t attend Sunday’s practice, Auburn’s second preseason workout. Head coach Tommy Tuberville was evasive when asked about his whereabouts.
“Don’t know,” Tuberville said.
When a reporter repeated the question, Tuberville said, “I haven’t seen him.”
Furr was one of several defensive backs involved in a practice-field fight Saturday, during AU’s first preseason practice. After that scuffle, Furr spent the rest of Saturday’s practice on the sideline.
Furr ended spring practice fourth on the quarterback depth chart, then moved to defensive back over the summer. He is competing for playing time at second-team safety with fellow true freshmen Christian Thompson and Marcus Jemison and redshirt freshman Mike Slade.

DeRon Furr won't be suiting up for the Tigers
Class of 2008 signee DeRon Furr is no longer part of Auburn's football team. Head coach Tommy Tuberville was asked about the issue and replied, "He's decided to leave the football team. Next question."
Furr enrolled at Auburn early as a quarterback, struggled during spring practice and was switched to defensive back. Next, he was involved in an on-field altercation with teammates, reportedly over his work ethic. Furr then missed multiple practice, the Opelika-Auburn News reports.
Furr will likely be released from his scholarship with the Tigers and seek a transfer for another school. No potential destinations were mentioned.

Ex-AU player Furr will transfer to Memphis - Breaking News from The Birmingham News - al.com

DeRon Furr, who left the Auburn football team after a practice-field scuffle with teammate Zac Etheridge on the first day of fall camp, will transfer to Memphis, his father told The Birmingham News this morning.
DeRon Furr Sr. said his son chose Memphis over Florida State, Miami and Georgia Tech after they visited Memphis last weekend and met head coach Tommy West and defensive coordinator Tim Walton. Walton, like Furr, played at Carver High School in Columbus, Ga.
Furr, who was recruited at Auburn as a quarterback but switched to safety after spring practice, will play safety at Memphis, his father said.
Furr, who enrolled at Auburn in January, will redshirt this season as a transfer and will have four years of eligibility starting with the 2009 season.
Furr Sr. said he and his son "want to thank Auburn for the opportunity. We're going to move forward."
