Auburn has plenty of momentum on the recruiting trail and looks to keep it going when four-star cornerback [autotag]Jalewis Solomon[/autotag] makes his commitment on Saturday, Aug. 5.
He has a top five of Auburn, South Carolina, Florida State, Texas A&M and Kentucky but admitted over the weekend that two schools are standing out to AuburnUndercover’s Christian Clemente.
“South Carolina and Auburn are probably the top two schools right now,” Solomon said. “Those are the top two schools I’m probably just focused on, I’m not going to lie. It’ll probably come down to those two schools. Both have an eagerness to win and they’re both on the come up right now, rising up. Like for Auburn, I just saw two commits just flipped and they’re on the rise for sure.”
Solomon visited both programs over the weekend, checking out South Carolina on Friday before heading to Auburn for its Big Cat Weekend on Saturday.
It was his third trip to the Plains this year and it once again went extremely well.
“Man, it went great,” Solomon said. “I loved it, I loved it.”
While plenty can change between now and the early signing period, he would likely be the final piece of Auburn’s impressive cornerback class. Secondary coaches [autotag]Wesley McGriff[/autotag] and [autotag]Zac Etheridge[/autotag] have already landed [autotag]Jalyn Crawford[/autotag], [autotag]A’Mon Lane[/autotag] and [autotag]Jayden Lewis[/autotag], who are all four-star prospects.
Solomon is set to announce his decision at 3 p.m. CT on Aug. 5 and is looking for a place where he is comfortable.
