Welcome back to another edition of War Eagle Watch.

Two of Auburn's most recent commits make their debuts as an Auburn commit, with Samuel Turner earning Big Cat of the Week. Turner's performance on Friday was a big one, Deuce Knight returned from injury and Jared Smith was a menace on defense once again.

Let's get into some stats for several Auburn commits.
