The Auburn Tigers were named among the top 11 schools for 2023 safety DaKaaari Nelson on Thursday.
The four-star safety from Selma, Alabama, is looking at Arkansas, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Texas A&M from the SEC on top of the Tigers. Other big programs include Clemson, Oregon, and Penn State.
Nelson is not afraid to use his size (6-foot-3 and 203 pounds) and athleticism to tackles and could potentially become a box safety. When in coverage he has great ball awareness and recorded eight interceptions as a junior, two of which he returned for touchdowns.
Has experience playing special teams, which only increases his value as a prospect and could create early playing opportunity for him.
