Auburn is adding an experienced safety from the transfer portal to its secondary.
According to a report by Christian Clemente of Auburn Undercover, Auburn has landed a commitment from [autotag]Taye Seymore[/autotag], a safety formerly of Georgia Tech. Seymore joins Auburn’s roster after spending his first two collegiate seasons with the Yellow Jackets.
The 2024 season was a breakout year for Seymore. The sophomore from South Atlanta High School (Georgia) played in ten games this season for Georgia Tech with seven starts. He made 45 tackles with two pass deflections. He logged a career-best 10 tackles in Georgia Tech’s 31-28 loss to Syracuse on Sept. 7.
According to Pro Football Focus data, Seymore tallied 401 snaps in 2024. During his time on the field, he allowed 76.9% (10-of-13) of targeted passes to be caught for 183 yards while allowing just two touchdowns. Seymore did not participate in the Yellow Jackets’ final two games against NC State and Georgia due to injury.
Seymore will look to earn a spot in the safety rotation alongside Kaleb Harries and Sylvester Smith in 2025. True freshmen Eric Winters and Anquon Fegans will also look to join the mix.
