Auburn's secondary added another piece to build its future upon.

Four-star athlete Jaylin Simpson committed to Auburn on Monday, he announced on Twitter. Simpson is the fifth commit in the Tigers' 2019 recruiting class, which is currently ranked 32nd in the nation. He is the second cornerback in the class, joining three-star prospect Cordale Flott.

Simpson, out of Frederica Academy in St. Simons Island, Ga., is rated as the nation's No. 28 athlete and the 33rd-best player in Georgia.

"First off, I would like to thank the Man above for giving me the opportunity to continue my education and to play football at the next level," Simpson posted in a note on Twitter. "I also would like to thank my Mom, sister, and pops for supporting me. I would also like to give thanks to my coaches, teammates, administration, and teachers at Frederica Academy. Without you guys I would not be in this position. With that being said, I will be committing to Auburn University."

The 5-foot-11, 185-pound Simpson's commitment comes shortly after he and Frederica Academy teammate, four-star athlete Jashawn Sheffield, took a second visit to Auburn during the weekend.
