Four-star edge rusher [autotag]Jamonta Waller[/autotag] is one of the best players in Mississippi and Auburn is very interested in him.
The feeling is mutual as he is unofficially visiting Auburn on Friday, he announced on Twitter Monday morning.
Waller is the No. 289 overall player and the No. 23 edge in the 247Sports Composite ranking. The Picayune native is also the No. 8 player from Mississippi.
He is coming off a dominant junior campaign for Picayune Memorial High School. The 6-foot-2, 225-pounder made 106 tackles, 24 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks, and 31 quarterback hurries.
Auburn needs to land multiple pass rushers in the 2024 cycle and Waller would be a nice addition but the Tigers will need to have a great visit. This is his first time visiting the Plains and they have some ground to make up on the rest of the schools that are pursuing him.
