Auburn Secures DeAndre Carter’s Commitment, Pushing For Jamonta Waller

The Auburn Tigers are making an impact with key recruiting targets

To close their 2024 recruiting class, the Auburn Tigers are making a strong push. First, it’s helping to secure an area that has long since been plaguing the program.

Offensive line troubles date back more than five years for Auburn. That’s why not only landing Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei offensive guard DeAndre Carter in the first place – but also seeing him reaffirm his commitment – should help make Hugh Freeze and his staff feel more at ease. Here’s what Carter has on his X page:

Excited to be headed to the Iron Bowl!!!! Staying home!!! 💯 percent committed to Auburn!!! @AuburnFootball @CoachThornton61 @CoachHughFreeze pic.twitter.com/brE4B8wzOG

It’s not like Texas, Oregon, UCLA, Southern California, and many other schools are going to give up on the 6-foot-4 and 340-pound road grader. He’s a special player and one that could potentially help the Tigers as soon as the 2024 season. Carter is not the only prospect to discuss today either.

After seeing Jamonta Waller play live, let me tell you, there’s a good reason that he has a plethora of SEC offers and beyond like LSU, Ole Miss, Alabama, Georgia, Florida State, Penn State, and Tennessee in addition to Auburn and the school he's pledged to, the Florida Gators. A pass rusher with Waller’s unique skills is one thing, but a player who goes all-out play after play is quite another.

Waller’s motor is tremendous! Any coach would happily place that young man on his college football program’s roster and do so with a smile. As for Auburn potentially flipping Waller from Florida, there’s a prime development to monitor.

Which school, Florida or Auburn, does Waller actually visit down the stretch? When I spoke directly with Waller on Oct. 27, he let me know that the Florida State at Florida game would be the next time he would get to Gainesville, if possible. You can read more about Waller's skills directly below:

Breaking Down Auburn Recruiting Target Jamonta Waller

His Picayune (Miss.) Picayune Memorial team is likely to make a deep playoff run, so traveling is not the easiest thing for him to do on a Saturday.

That being the case, Auburn continues to go hard after this young man. If, and it’s a big if, the Tigers can get Waller to the Iron Bowl, that's a good sign for the Tigers.

There are several other top Auburn targets that Auburn Daily will be monitoring over the course of the next couple of weeks. Of course, there’s the hope that Phenix City (Ala.) Central wide receiver and current Texas A&M commitment Cameron Coleman will be in attendance for the Iron Bowl. He's been to the Plains already this fall.

Plus, there's Birmingham (Ala.) Parker defensive lineman and Alabama commitment Jeremiah Beaman. There's hope that he will be there as well, among other prime targets.

The bottom line, Auburn’s Iron Bowl recruiting visitors list should be elite! Stay locked in right here at Auburn Daily for the latest backstories on recruiting. It's going to be fun to follow from here on out.
