Defensive lineman [autotag]LJ McCray[/autotag] is one of the top uncommitted prospects in the country but that won’t be the case for much longer.
He will celebrate his birthday on Oct. 18 and is planning to announce his commitment shortly after, according to On3’s Chad Simmons. Auburn is battling with Florida, Florida State, Georgia and Miami for the Daytona Beach, Florida product.
“All five schools are tight on my list,” McCray told On3. “I have talked to all five schools over the last three days and none of them are letting others create a gap in between them. I thought each visit would make it easier for me, going back to the summer, but I have enjoyed each visit so much that it is making it harder.”
While making a commitment has crossed his mind, he shared when he will know it’s time to pull the trigger.
“Commitment has crossed my with one of these schools almost every week. Until I wake up every day with the same school on my mind and know where I want to be, I won’t be committed. When that school consistently comes to mind, that is who I will commit to.”
McCray is the No. 42 overall player and No. 7 defensive lineman in the On3 industry ranking. He is also the No. 7 player from Florida.
He officially visited Auburn in June and is hoping to return for a game before his commitment.
“I have visited Auburn twice and I just enjoy Auburn,” McCray said. “It is not just the football, but the people and the city at Auburn. Then I like Coach [autotag]Jeremy Garrett[/autotag] a lot. He is super-personal and we have some great talks. The players are cool too and I like it on campus. I hope to see a game there.”
