Auburn football commit Jayln Crawford will be participating in the Under Armour All-American game.

Crawford, a three-star cornerback from Parkview High School, is regarded as a underrated prospect in Tiger circles.

Here is everything Crawford had to say to Auburn Daily's Brian Smith:

Here's a look at Crawford as a recruit:

Jalyn Crawford

Size: 6-feet, 190 pounds

Position: Cornerback

Schools: Lilburn (Ga.) Parkview

Recruitment: Several SEC programs like LSU, Florida, Missouri, Tennesse, Texas A&M, and Ole Miss came after Crawford before he decided to sign with the Tigers. Other offers include but are not limited to Penn State, Michigan, Oklahoma, and Miami.

He's the #212 player in the country per the 247Sports composite recruiting rankings, plus the 19th-rated cornerback and No. 27 player in Georgia.

Strengths: Propensity to play the run with physicality just as much as Crawford will go after an interception on a deep ball. After beginning his backpedal, he shows the suddenness to drive on the football and make plays during comeback routes, slants, and other routes.

As an important part of Crawford's maturation, he's coming from a Parview program that's in the middle of Gwinnett County just outside of Atlanta. He's accustomed to going against top-notch recruits. That's going to help him adapt to the SEC level.

Area to Improve: Adding weight and strength is pivotal to being a big-time Auburn football player. Crawford can absolutely make plays, but he's going to be an even better version of his current self after adding 10 to 15 pounds to his frame.
