Lowell Narcisse to Auburn: Tigers Land 4-Star QB Prospect

Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn certainly knows how to use dual-threat quarterbacks, as evidenced by Cam Newton's and Nick Marshall's success under his tutelage. On Monday, Lowell Narcisse potentially made himself the next in line.

The 4-star QB committed to the Tigers, per Shea Dixon of 247Sports:    

According to 247Sports' composite rankings, Narcisse is the No. 3 dual-threat passer in the 2017 recruiting class. He's also No. 59 overall and the third-best recruit in Louisiana.

During his freshman and sophomore years, he threw for 5,137 yards, 58 touchdowns and 22 interceptions. He has also run for 2,039 yards and 30 touchdowns, per MaxPreps. Narcisse will miss his junior season after tearing his ACL in May.

His rushing yards are a testament to his athletic ability. There's no question Narcisse is a dynamic addition to Auburn's class.

However, he'll definitely need to improve as a passer down the road. He completed just 55.1 percent of his passes in his first two years in high school.

His mechanics are a bit of an issue. The following Vine from Cody Bellaire highlights how Narcisse's arm can drop a bit prior to release:

Bleacher Report's Damon Sayles showed how he can excel throwing on the run, however:

The things Narcisse must improve aren't vastly different from a typical dual-threat QB. And some level of accuracy can be sacrificed for mobility.

With Malzahn showing him the ropes, Narcisse could blossom into a star at the next level.
