It was just a matter of time until former NFL great Philip Rivers' son, Gunner, received his first offer from an SEC school.

On Thursday, that day came for the rising sophomore gunslinger out of Fairhope, Alabama.

Rivers, a 5-star 2027 quarterback, received an offer from Auburn as he continues to make a name for himself in the high school football world. The signal caller's other Power 4 offer comes from NC State, where his father once played his college football.

Playing for St. Michael Catholic, in whichg his father is the head coach, the sophomore completed 267-of-424 passes for 3,947 yards, 36 touchdowns to just a mere six interceptions.

Rivers was one of the top sophomores in the country when it came to throwing the rock and helped lead the Cardinals to a 12-2 record playing in Alabama's Class 4A classification.

In 2023 as a freshman, Rivers completed 229-of-362 passes for 3,077 yards, 29 touchdowns and only four picks.
