Auburn helped itself during an official visit that concluded Saturday morning, according to the mother of touted 4-star safety Nigel Warrior of Suwannee (Ga.) Peachtree Ridge.
It was a great visit it was really good, Tangie Warrior told AuburnUndercover. It was good for him to spend time with the new coach and the players there. In my opinion, I think they helped themselves. It was helpful for him to interact and get a feel for the new coaching staff. That was his first overnight visit there.
The 6-foot,186-pound Warrior, a Tennessee Vols legacy, is the No. 2 safety in the 247Sports rankings.

What stood out at Auburn?
I guess the welcoming and the relationship the family oriented relationship they have, Tangie Warrior said. I mean, it was just all around a great visit. They showed a lot. They really embraced him and were appreciative of him coming. They told him how they would really like to have him there.
Another plus: Warrior liked Auburns Kinesiology program.
That really stood out that was great to see, Tangie Warrior said.
While at Auburn, Warrior spent lots of time with early enrollee Kyle Davis, a heralded receiver, and Marlon Character, an Auburn commit from Atlanta also on a visit. Among players already on the roster, his mother mentioned Carlton Davis and Joshua Holsey as people Warrior hung out with during the visit.
I think in my opinion it would be a good fit for him, Tangie Warrior said.
She added, I think theyre in the race. On a scale of 1 to 10, I will say theyre right at an 8 or 9. Them as a whole. I think they represented the school really well. They really do. The school, the coaching staff from what weve seen its a great place to go and study and play ball.
