AUBURN - Horace Spencer, the No. 36 overall prospect and No. 13 power forward in the 247Sports rankings, told AuburnUndercover he signed with Auburn on Wednesday morning.

Horace Spencer, Auburn's highest ranked commitment, signed with the Tigers on Wednesday.

11:55 a.m. update: Sources confirm Auburn has received Spencer's NLI. Spencer is officially an Auburn signee.

Spencer committed to the Tigers in August of 2014 over many offers, including Georgetown, Oklahoma State, UNLV, Maryland, Memphis and more.

"I'm an Auburn Tiger," Spencer told AuburnUndercover. "War Eagle!"

What will Spencer bring to Auburn's basketball team?

"Hustle. Athleticism. I'll never give up," Spencer said. "No matter how many points we're down, no matter the circumstances, I don't give up. Scoring, defense, having fun. I want to have fun.

"The day I committed to Auburn, I was excited. I was committed off the hype, but now that I see they need me, I'm more thinking I need to come here and make an impact. They need somebody like me to make a big impact and help turn the program around. I'd rather be needed than wanted. If you need something, you have to have it and don't want to let it go. They need me to make an impact."

Spencer, 6-foot-8 and 215 pounds, averaged 10.4 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 1.2 steals per game this season at Findlay Prep in Las Vegas. Spencer played only 19.5 minutes per game on a loaded Findlay Prep team.

Spencer, originally from Warminster, Penn., graduates on May 24 and will report to Auburn on May 25. He gives Auburn five signees in the 2015 class, joining Danjel Purifoy, T.J. Dunans, New Williams and Bryce Brown to make up the nation's No. 13 recruiting class and the third-best class in the SEC.

"We are going to be a powerhouse," Spencer said. "We can come in and make a big impact. We can come in, get wins, turn this program around."
