Four-star athlete [autotag]Jalewis Solomon[/autotag] has had an Auburn offer for over a year now but he has recently become a priority.
The Ellaville, Georgia, native was in Auburn for a 7-on-7 tournament and his performance drew the attention of secondary coaches [autotag]Zac Etheridge[/autotag] and [autotag]Wesley McGriff[/autotag] as well as head coach [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag].
The interest is mutual as he included the Tigers in his top five schools Monday night on Twitter. They will be battling FSU, Kentucky, Texas A&M and South Carolina for him.
He is the No. 200 overall player and No. 16 athlete in the 247Sports Composite ranking. He is also the No. 28 player from Georgia.
Auburn is the only one of his finalists that he hasn’t officially visited but he has visited the Plains several times and will likely officially visit during the season. He is also the younger brother of defensive lineman [autotag]Zykevious Walker[/autotag].
The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder has starred on both sides of the ball for Schley County High School but Auburn is recruiting him as a defensive back.
He caught 86 passes for 1,210 yards and 10 touchdowns in 14 games. As a corner, he made 29 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions and broke up four passes.
