There isn’t a player I am more excited to see suit up next season than 3* DL Daquan Newkirk. Newkirk originally committed to Auburn back in June of 2015 but due to academics he was forced to take the junior college route via Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. But both sides stayed strong in their commitments. Auburn continued to recruit the talented defensive lineman and Newkirk stayed firm in his commitment. About two and half years later the big man has officially signed with the Tigers.
Newkirk has never held a very high rating in his recruitment.
