Breaking Down Auburn Recruiting Target Jamonta Waller

Flipping Jamonta Waller would be huge for the Auburn Tigers!

Nov. 10 UPDATE: It appears that Auburn is making moves with big-time edge defender Jamonta Waller. There are “flip” predictions for him to head to the Plains from multiple in the recruiting industry (some might not yet be public). 

If Auburn signs Waller, it could help the Tigers sign at least a top-12 recruiting class, if not a top-10 class.

Here is a recent report I did on Waller: 

The Auburn Tigers are loading up on defensive line recruits. That’s why Hugh Freeze and his coaching staff continue to go after edge rusher Jamonta Waller.

The 6-foot-1 and 240-pound edge defender’s film does not lie. Playing for Picayune (Miss.) Memorial, Waller routinely defeats left tackles with sheer quickness. That’s just the beginning of what he can do on the gridiron, however.

His natural flexibility allows Waller to get underneath the offensive tackle’s attempted block en route to the quarterback. Waller’s strength, as well, aids him in knocking offensive linemen back despite being smaller than many of his counterparts. He does not give up either.

Waller’s effort level is tremendous. Even when he’s not able to quickly disengage from a block, Waller’s hands and feet keep working in unison to eventually get off the block. That’s when his athleticism shines yet again.

Using his intelligence, Waller takes good routes to the ball carrier or quarterback; he does not waste steps. Waller’s impressive all-around attributes are something that need to be discussed further as well. Here’s a more in-depth breakdown of this potential Auburn signee:
