Auburn football flips 2027 in-state safety from Florida State
Auburn football flips 2027 in-state safety from Florida State Scott is the Tigers' first 2027 commit after changing course from his Florida State pledge.
On Monday, the Auburn Tigers got a boost for their 2027 recruiting class when safety Jaylen Scott flipped his commitment to Auburn from Florida State. Scott had originally committed to the Seminoles on Jan. 18 after he had attended Junior Day. He is currently rated as a four-star by 247Sports, who ranks Scott as the No. 9 safety and the No. 5 player in Alabama in the class.
Scott plays at Williamson High School out of Mobile, Alabama. The Williamson Lions won 10 games in 2024 but were defeated, 31-6, by Clay Central in the second round of the 5A AHSAA Playoffs. Scott had 107 tackles last season, averaging almost nine per game. He also had four interceptions and one fumble recovery during his sophomore season. Scott also contributed on the offensive side of the ball by catching five passes for 100 yards and one touchdown.
Scott is currently the only commit the Tigers have for 2027. The 2026 class, which sits at No 35 nationally, added its eight commitment on Monday in three-star athlete Eric Perry. That class has one safety commit in three-star Wayne Henry. The Tigers currently have a young group at the safety position, but by 2027 Auburn should be looking for some help in the secondary.
For the 2025 class, Auburn added four-star recruits Eric Winters and Anquon Fegans. Both players are in-state prospects like Scott. They also added Taye Seymore from Georgia Tech.
