Peach Co. DB commits to Auburn
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Peach County defensive back Reggie Taylor didn’t need long to think about committing to Auburn.
The 5-foot-10, 170-pound Taylor was offered at Auburn’s camp two weeks ago and decided to accept it on Tuesday.
“It was an easy choice for me,” Taylor said. “They play in the SEC, and they compete for championships. The Auburn coaches treated me well and really made me feel like they wanted me there. It’s good to make the decision so I can focus on my grades and my senior year of football.”
Auburn was Taylor’s first offer, but he also was generating interest from South Carolina, Ole Miss, Ball State, and Middle Tennessee State. Peach County coach Chad Campbell said many colleges were waiting on Taylor’s ACT results, which he took for the first time earlier this month.
“Reggie kind of fell in love with Auburn after visiting in the spring, and the offer kind of sealed the deal,” Campbell said. “Auburn is getting a very smart player who can play anywhere in the secondary, cornerback or safety, and knows how to play in multiple types of coverage.”
Taylor ran a 4.36 in the 40-yard dash at a camp last week.
