Auburn receives commitment from 4-star safety

The Tigers steal one out of Tallahassee.

Another day. Another boom for Gus Malzahn.

On Friday, Auburn received the commitment from 4-star safety Ahmari Harvey over Texas A&M and Florida State. He is the No. 8 safety in the 2021 recruiting class, per 247Sports.

Out of Tallahassee, Harvey is the 177th overall player int he class, standing 5-foot-10 and weighing 171 pounds.

From 247Sports scouting report:

Not the biggest defensive back. Should be able to pack on muscle once in college. A natural playmaker with great ball skills that has produced at the high school level. Uses superb leaping ability to his advantage. Not afraid to lower his head and strike a ball carrier in run support. Can work the slot and play man coverage, but looks more relaxed when lined up over the top. Will need to get faster at the next level as he will no longer be the best athlete on the field. Likely a multi-year starter for a Power 5 program with the upside there to develop into an NFL Draft pick.
