Marlon Davidson (born May 11, 1998) is an American football defensive end for the Auburn Tigers.

High School career

As a five-star prospect, Davidson was highly recruited out of high school. Despite being local to Alabama, and Alabama extending an offer to him, Davidson choose to sign with Auburn, where his brother played football and was on staff for the Tigers.[1]

College career

Davidson made an instant impact on the Tigers, starting in all 13 games and becoming the first Auburn freshman to start on the defensive line since 1985.[2] He was also able to make the All-SEC freshman team.[3] During his sophomore year, Davidson was able to become the SEC defensive player of the week after a game with Missouri.[4]
