Auburn adds to 2019 recruiting class with talented LB out of Florida

Heading into National Signing Day, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn was confident the Tigers would make a big splash.

It appears that confidence was well-earned, as the Tigers did indeed make a number of solid additions to their 2019 recruiting class.

On Wednesday afternoon, they made another one, picking up a commitment from 3-star LB Octavius Brothers out of Florida. You can see Brothers make his decision below:
