Yesterday, Auburn landed another commitment for its 2016 recruiting class from T.J. Neal. The 6-foot-1, 235-pound middle linebacker is a graduate transfer that started 25 games for Illinois. The Pennsylvania native announced his decision during his official visit to the Plains on Tuesday. Neal chose Auburn over West Virginia.

Neal posted this tweet to announce his commitment…

“It has been a honor to be given a chance to play college football,” Neal wrote. “For my senior year, I chose to sign with University of Auburn. I want to thank the coaching staff at the University of Auburn for giving me this opportunity.
