Popular Post toddc 13,197 Posted December 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2022 Auburn completes flip of 4-star safety Sylvester Smith from Tennessee 35 minutes ago It's another Freeze Flip for Auburn. On Saturday morning, 4-star safety Sylvester Smith arrived at Auburn for an unofficial visit as a Tennessee commit. By Saturday night, he had backed off that commitment. By Sunday, he was on Auburn's commit list. "I'm home," he told Auburn Undercover. In the industry-generated 247Sports Composite, Smith is the No. 222 overall player, No. 17 safety and the No. 16 player in the state of Alabama. 247Sports also ranks Smith as a 4-star, checking in as the No. 21 safety and No. 17 player in the state. Commit No. 14 overall for Auburn, Smith is Auburn's third-highest-rated commit behind running back Jeremiah Cobb and defensive lineman Darron Reed. Since dating back to last December, Smith has had strong interest. It was the spot he was looking to land at, but Auburn wasn't ready to take him. With Zac Etheridge still around and Auburn's new staff in place around him, Smith expressed interest in Auburn again. This time, Auburn expressed it back. Dating back to Wesley McGriff's time at Florida, he's recruited Smith and that was a big factor, he told Auburn Undercover. Both Coach Crime and Etheridge were able to land his commitment. Smith is Auburn's fourth defensive back commit, joining 4-star safety Terrance Love and 3-star cornerbacks Colton Hood and JC Hart. While Love is considered more of a strong safety or even potentially a move down to linebacker, Smith is listed at 5-foot-11, 195 pounds, and projects as a free safety for Auburn. After flipping Tyler Johnson from Texas Tech, Hood from Michigan State and Connor Lew from Miami, he's now the fourth commitment for Hugh Freeze at Auburn, all of which have happened to be flipped. With just three more days to National Signing Day on Dec. 21, Smith kickstarts what's set to be a wild week for Auburn. 35COMMENTS Smith is planning to sign on Dec. 21, though he is not an early enrollee. 2 8 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/185360-2023-4-safety-silvester-smith-flips-from-vols-to-au/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never felt at any point that James or Qua were coming to Auburn. Maybe Leary at quarterback if we really can’t get academics right with McCall Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/185360-2023-4-safety-silvester-smith-flips-from-vols-to-au/#findComment-3690475 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muscle Shoals Tiger 201 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Coach Freeze is working hard.

Sizzle 3,948 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Glad to have him aboard. He’s a big physical safety and he grew up an Auburn fan.
