The Auburn Tigers have gained another important commitment in the form of Florida QB prospect, Keyone Jenkins.

Jenkins was previously committed to the Florida International Golden Panthers. Jenkins has announced that he has intentions to sign with Auburn on signing day. Jenkins, who is from Miami attends Miami Central High School.

Jenkins has been an incredibly successful high school quarterback, he became the starter during his eighth-grade season and has remained the starter since then. During his time at Miami Central, he has won three state championships and is competing for another this season. This season he has accumulated 1,565 passing yards with 22 touchdowns and three interceptions. He has added 148 yards and four touchdowns on the ground.

Jenkins was offered by Auburn on his visit on November 12th, which was the Texas A&M game. That excellent environment combined with the Tigers offering him seems to have made for a wonderful visit and no doubt helped to increase the Tigers' chances.

Jenkins has connections to other Auburn targets as he is the cousin and teammate of four-star EDGE target Rueben Bain. Bain and Jenkins are on the same team as Stanquan Clark, the four-star Linebacker, who is currently committed to the Louisville Cardinals. Lamar Seymore, a friend of current Tiger Camden Brown, and the star Wide Reciever for Miami Central is currently committed to Pitt. Brown was also committed to Pitt before signing with Auburn on early signing day.

Keyone joins the 2023 class as the (blank) commitment and is the only QB committed to the Tigers in this recruiting cycle.
