Auburn has added another wide receiver to its 2018 commitment list.

Matthew Hill, a four-star recruit from Brookwood in Snellville, Ga., announced Thursday night on Twitter his intentions to sign with Auburn.

"After a long process, I've decided to commit to Auburn University," Hill told Rivals.com. "I fit in, it feels like home and Auburn has always been a dream school for me."

Hill, who is 6-foot-1 and weighs 185 pounds, chose Auburn over his two other finalists, Alabama and South Carolina.

"It was a hard decision," Hill said. "My decision was made from my heart."

Hill is familiar with Auburn. He has visited the Tigers’ campus several times, including trips to the two main recruiting events of the summer: Big Cat in June and the Cookout in July. Hill also attended Auburn’s Junior Day in January and A-Day game in April.

“I’m very comfortable at Auburn,” Hill said in June. “I grew up an Auburn fan so I’ve been comfortable there since I was a little kid.”

Hill is the second receiver to commit to Auburn’s 2018 class. He joins Hoover’s Shedrick Jackson, who committed to the Tigers in June. Auburn now has a total of 12 commitments in the class.

"I'm glad to say that I'm an Auburn Tiger," Hill said. "War Eagle!"

Hill's primary recruiter from Auburn is wide receivers coach Kodi Burns.

Rivals ranks Hill the No. 22 athlete in the 2018 class and No. 32 player from Georgia.
