"It just felt comfortable. I couldn't turn away from it, it just felt like home."

I have to agree with him. This is what I felt when I visited Auburn for the first time during the Auburn/Florida game in 1999.

WELCOME HOME JEFFERY!

I'll take a fat kid like that any day. (He is the one that said it.)

[CummingGATiger 0]

This just confirms what I have felt about this staff.   They are bringing in good people and good players.   What a quality young man Mr. Whitaker is.

Welcome and War Eagle!

[alexava 6,974]

like his personality,seems humble but confident. if thats possible.

Yes, humble and confident can come in the same package.  I'd like to add funny to that list.  I was laughing and of course smiling the whole time I was watching the video. 

Welcome to Auburn, Jeffrey.  You will not only love being an Auburn Tiger while you are playing, but for the rest of your life.

:wedance: :party:

WDE!  WDE!

Not only recruiting good players but good people.

He kind of reminds me of Tommy Jackson personality wise. He's going to be a special player for us I think.

[Barney 10]

Thats a funny dude, man...he had me laughing

[TeBoneAU 89]

OH YAH!! Welcome to the Family Mr. Whitaker, man am I soooooo glad that he choose Auburn. This is probably one of the most important recruits in this class IMO. 

[Joe-WEGL91.1 0]

I wonder if he can hit a back flip like TJ did after the 05 Iron Bowl?

[Guest AUjem]

This sounds like one great AU Man.  I look forward to watching him this fall!  Welcome Aboard Jeffrey Whitaker!!!

I agree itll be hard to run on fairly whitaker kenneth travis and hopefully jones in the next couple years

[AUTigergrad08 617]

Looks like he's a great young man.  He should do well and learn alot from Coach Rocker.  I'm glad he chose AU.  War Eagle Jeffery!  Here's to seeing a great 4 - 5 years from you in orange and blue and more in an NFL uniform.

[TESSA4AUWDE 0]

and I have read where he said this wasn't going to be just a 4 year thing, it was going to be a 40 year thing. He already knows what family means in the Auburn family.

My word...NSD just HAD to be around a MY emotional time of the month...I just wanna give my man a HUG and tell him WELCOME to the family!!

Oh yea, and NO laughing there guys..tomorrow I could be on a rampage...you just nEver can tell! 

[Guest gkc81]

Maturity and class; I hope all our recruits take his lead.

[87aubie 0]

Can we put you in a cage match with dinky saban and sell tickets??!?!  LOL!!!

[Rickys Rants 0]

It is a pleasure to welcome Jeffrey Whitaker to 'the family'..........looking forward to seeing him play next Fall!

[InfernoOrangeSS 321]

It's funny to think that in 2 years, when he is helping hold up the National Championship trophy, he can thank Tracy Rocker for helping him decide to come to AU and help win it.

[Chaotic_zx 1,052]

God, Maturity, , Respect, Integrity, Family, and Hard Work. These are all things I want to see in a recruit. I like that he called the other coaches and let them know instead of doing the hat thing. I like that he thought that it was respectable. I look forward to watching him on Saturdays and beyond.

[Guest jojo1515]

most surprising thing about that video:  Even the bammers on there could only say good things.  That is how you know you a GREAT one!  Class guy.  Even gave the other coaches a heads up before announcing.  I bet that happens alot less than it should.  welcome to Auburn Whit and WAR EAGLE!!
