COLLEGE FOOTBALL RECRUITING: INITIAL TOP 25 CLASSES FOR 2018 (Bleacher Report)
quote:
16. Auburn Tigers
Class Size: Three players (one 4-star recruit)
Commitments to Know
4-star quarterback Joey Gatewood, Bartram Trail High School (Jacksonville, Florida)
Auburn gained an early jump on Gatewood, a 6'3", 205-pound prospect who fielded several high-profile offers as a freshman before committing to the Tigers in December 2015. Rated No. 10 nationally among quarterbacks, Gatewood possesses the dual-threat skill set coveted by Tigers head coach Gus Malzahn, as evidenced by his 2,283 rushing yards through three high school seasons, per MaxPreps.
Junior college defensive end Daquan Newkirk, Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College
This name may sound familiar to Auburn fans because Newkirk previously pledged to the program's 2016 class while in high school at The First Academy in Orlando, Florida. Academics delayed his arrival, according to Drew Champlin of AL.com, but he is expected to be among the top-rated JUCO defenders in this cycle before finally arriving on campus with three years of eligibility left.

As Scout's Chad Simmons detailed, Georgia was able to get in early and land an impact player in 4-star defensive end Adam Anderson.
He chose to stay close to home and shun early offers from powers such as Alabama, Clemson, Florida State and Ohio State.
According to MaxPreps, Anderson recorded five sacks and an interception as a junior.
He is the No. 3 overall prospect from the state of Georgia in the 2018 cycle.
