Four-star 2027 safety Jaylen Scott flips from Florida State to Auburn
Mobile (Ala.) Williamson On3 Industry four-star safety Jaylen Scott tells On3 he has flipped his commitment from Florida State to Auburn.
Scott had been a verbal to the Seminoles since January but now looks forward to suiting up for head coach Hugh Freeze and staying closer to home.
The Tigers have been on the 6-foot, 170-pound Scott heavy since extending a scholarship in March and now have him in the fold.
“Just everything to be honest,” Scott said of the move to Auburn. “Auburn has been treating me like a priority since before I got the offer.
