JUCO safety Marquise Gilbert second commit of the day for Auburn

Auburn's start to signing day week continues to go well. After Austin Ausberry committed earlier today, another future piece of the secondary in Marquise Gilbert joined him.

Gilbert hails from Hutchinson Community College in Kansas.

“The SEC is the best talent. It feels good to be here at Auburn and being around great people," Gilbert said.

The immediate need at safety — with Smoke Monday and Byrdarrius Knighten gone next year — was another big plus for Gilbert.

"You’ve got to come in and compete but I can get the job if I come in and compete and win," Gilbert said.

Gilbert's only visit to Auburn was for the Ole Miss game.

He is the 14th commit in the class after Drew Bobo flipped to Georgia earlier in the day.
