Walker White’s most wanted
Shortly after 4-star quarterback Walker White made his commitment to Auburn, he sounded off about which recruits he wants to join him in the Tigers’ 2024 class.
Not having a quarterback until the last minute in the 2023 class hurt Auburn down the stretch, especially with skill players. Now, the Tigers have one of the more notable quarterback names on their side.
Here are the recruits White has called out to join him on the plains.
Offensive line targets
- Jameson Riggs, OT, 6-5 280 – Hiram, Ga.: Riggs has been thought to be a Clemson lean for some time. He has visited there four times on record. Auburn, though, had him on campus in January. He and White have a relationship through their recruitments with Clemson.
- Blake Franks, IOL, 6-5 315 – Greenville, SC: Franks recently visited Auburn a day after its big junior day event. In-state South Carolina seems to be trending here, but Auburn is battling and now has some more help.
- Daniel Calhoun, OT, 6-6 350 – Roswell, Ga.: Calhoun recently released a top ten that did not include Auburn. He is in nearby Roswell, Ga. Let’s see if the Tigers can get back into the picture with White on board.
- Jac’Qawn McRoy, OT, 6-8 340 – Pinson, Ala.: McRoy just wrapped up a junior day visit at Auburn. After the visit, he said Auburn was “either No. 2 or 3,” but notated that the Tigers moved up with the visit. Auburn is firmly in this one.
Wide receiver targets
- Perry Thompson, WR, 6-3 205 – Foley, Ala.: Thompson recently visited Auburn and gave the trip rave reviews. He is committed to Alabama, but keeping his options open, and has a good relationship with Marcus Davis.
- Cameron Coleman, WR, 6-3 180 – Phenix City, Ala.: Coleman has been a top receiver target for some time. He has not been able to make it back to campus since Hugh Freeze took over, but remains high on the Tigers.
- Terrance “TJ” Moore, WR, 6-4 190 – Tampa, Fla.: Moore told Auburn Live’s Keith Niebuhr that he will visit Auburn in the spring and the Tigers are one of the school recruiting him the hardest.
- Micah Hudson, WR, 6-0 190 – Temple, Tex.: Hudson claims an Auburn offer, but has not visited to our knowledge. He is the No. 5 overall recruit in the country.
- Ny Carr, WR, 5-10 170 – Moultrie, Ga.: Carr is currently committed to Georgia, but visited Auburn for junior day. He was already a top target for the Tigers.
Tight end targets
- Carter Nelson, TE, 6-5 210 – Ainsworth, Neb.: Nelson claims an Auburn offer and is ranked in the top 200 best prospects in the country.
- Landen Thomas, TE, 6-4 238 – Moultrie, Ga.: Thomas is teammates with Carr. He claims an Auburn offer and is the No. 24 overall recruit in the country.
- Martavious Collins, TE, 6-3 240 – Rome, Ga.: Collins is committed to Alabama, but made a return trip to Auburn in January. He bonded with Auburn tight ends coach Ben Aigamaua and will return to Auburn in the spring.
Running back targets
- Daniel Hill, RB, 6-2 220 – Meridian, Miss.: Auburn made his top schools list recently. He notated Hugh Freeze as a big reason why Auburn made the cut.
- Kevin Riley, RB, 6-0 192 – Northport, Ala.: Auburn holds Riley in high regard. He should visit sometime in the near future.
