Auburn football lands commitment from former SEC five-star

Posted on by admin

Former Texas A&M safety Jacoby Mathews is transferring to Auburn football according to 247sports.

Mathews was No. 1-ranked safety in the class of 2022, signing with Texas A&M under current Auburn defensive coordinator DJ Durkin.

After playing in 21 games with the Aggies, Mathews totaled 66 tackles, eight pass breakups and an interception. He transferred after the 2023 season and spent one year in junior college.

Mathews joins a loaded safety room led by Kaleb Harris and Sylvester Smith as the two favorites to start this fall.

Kensley Louidor-Faustin, true freshmen Anquon Fegans and Eric Winters are also potential contributors who played well during the spring football period. Auburn also added former Georgia Tech safety Taye Seymore in the first transfer portal window.
