toddc 13,194 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 VIP - Only $1 First Month JOIN TODAY 5-star LB de-commits from Auburn ByKEITH NIEBUHR 16 minutes ago Share11 Comments Trenton Simpson committed to Auburn in June. (Photo: Andrew Ivins, 247Sports) Trenton Simpson, who had been the highest-ranked member of the Auburn Tigers recruiting class, he backed off his pledge. Simpson, a 5-star linebacker from Charlotte (N.C.) Mallard Creek, announced his de-commitment Sunday evening via Twitter. "This was not an easy decision to make," Simpson said on Twitter. "However, with God and my family, I have made the decision to de-commit from Auburn University." The 6-feet-3, 224-pound Simpson is the No. 2 outside backer and No. 13 overall recruit in the 247Sports rankings. He committed to Auburn on June 14. His de-commitment leaves Auburn with two linebacker commits -- 4-stars Wesley Steiner and Cameron Riley. The team to watch for Simpson? That would be North Carolina, which he recently visited. It is not known at this time if Simpson will continue to consider Auburn. The Tigers could keep pursuing him or divert their attention to 4-star Desmond Tisdol of Georgia. 11COMMENTS The plan is to sign three backers in the 2020 class. Auburn now has 18 total commitments. It can sign up to 25 this cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR 2,442 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Has any school ever lost this many top LB's in a class? Kennedy, Robinson and now Simpson. Good grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU 4,052 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Well at least he isn’t going to Bama or UGA. This of course sets up perfect for next year when we face UNC in Atlanta and I’m sure they’ll be playing better than they have in 10 years. Auburn will also be rebuilding the offensive and defensive fronts so hurray! Still a long way to NSD etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,589 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Tisdol wants to be at Auburn. I thought we should have taken his commitment months ago. At least we kept in touch, so now we've swapped someone who wants to be here for one that doesn't. That's not all bad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first two were harder for me to swallow. In a way we are lucky, this is a good year for linebackers. If we can keep the two we've got committed and add Tisdol we'll still be in pretty good shape for the class, though adding a good buck LB is still essential. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucanucktiger 1,793 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Emotional "we dont want you #2 LB in the country if you dont want us" reactions aside, is this an "I'm decommiting to keep my options open (and Auburn is still in play)" or is it "I'm decommitting because I should absolutely have commited to my life long dream - NC football?" Or too early to tell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abw0004 10,112 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Bright side is we lose him to a non-conference opponent. Who knows, maybe Clemson will finally have some competition in the ACC. We just need to remind Simpson he made the wrong decision in decommitting when we play UNC next year in Atlanta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Pickens is a trash human and I'm convinced he would have been bad for our locker room. He would not have finished his career at Auburn. Never mind that we rarely use guys like him to anywhere near their potential, as you point out. This will still be a beast class but this really sucks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
