Auburn S Jaylin Simpson was part of a loaded Auburn Tigers secondary that also has CB D.J. James and CB Nehemiah Pritchett on the same squad, suiting up with his teammates one more time before going off to the league. The 5-11, 178-pound safety had a strong senior season for the Tigers, notching 38 total tackles (29 solo), three pass deflections, and four interceptions, with one going back to the house for a defensive touchdown.
Simpson played cornerback for Auburn before making the move to safety and has seen his fair share of battles going up against the likes of Georgia WR Ladd McConkey, who is a fast, shifty wide receiver, as well as Kansas State TE Ben Sinnott, who is a big-bodied tight end with the clear size advantage on Simpson.
