AUBURN – A strong week on the recruiting trail continues for Auburn as the Tigers landed their fifth commitment from four-star prospect D'Anfernee McGriff on Tuesday, according to multiple reports.

McGirff, a 6-foot-1 220-pound athlete, plays quarterback at Tallahassee Leon but is expected to play wide receiver at Auburn. He chose the Tigers over nearby Florida State, Florda and South Carolina.

McGriff joins Kerryon Johnson, Bailey Sharp, Ben Edwards and Marquel Harrell, who all committed to Auburn in the last week.

Auburn now has 10 commitments to its 2015 recruiting class, with five coming in the past week, and is No. 5 in the 247Sports rankings, No. 6 by Scout and No. 13 by Rivals.
