Jamonta Waller officially signs with Auburn

Auburn has signed high-profile EDGE Jamonta Waller to their 2024 recruiting class.

The Auburn Tigers signed high-profile EDGE Jamonta Waller to their 2024 recruiting class.

Waller, a top-50 player nationally according to the 247Sports rating system, was originally committed to the Florida Gators before flipping to Auburn.

During his junior season, Walker finished with 106 tackles, 24 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries.

Jamonta Waller

Size: 6-foot-1, 240 pounds

Position: EDGE

High School: Picayune (Miss.) Picayune Memorial

Recruitment: Waller was originally committed to Florida, where he stayed committed from July of 2023 to November. However, Auburn continued to pursue the composite four-star and eventually convinced him to flip on Nov. 11 after a pair of visits in September and October.

Another way to place Waller's recruitment into perspective, he had offers from 11 different SEC schools.

Best Attributes: Waller's ability to bend and dip underneath the out-reached arms of an offensive tackle while speed rushing; he's dynamic as a pass rusher. Waller's talent was just beginning with chasing the quarterback.

Waller also does well in space when he either chases down a ball carrier or plays pass defense. The prime reason for his success in either area would be instincts. Waller did not waste time. He saw a play begin to develop and then charged the ball carrier or ran to the football in the air.

Area to Improve: Waller has been tabbed as an undersized outside linebacker who possesses elite athleticism to overcompensate. There's nothing Waller can do about his height, but adding more weight to his frame could be in his future.

Here's part of Waller's prospect profile from the 2024 Auburn Commitment List and Evaluations:

Waller uses his hands and feet in coordination with one another to fend off interior offensive linemen during running plays, he tracks down mobile quarterbacks from behind and in the open field. He's able to play in coverage, unlike most edge rushers. Waller is a big-time player and it's huge for Freeze and his staff to have flipped him from the Florida Gators.

Waller's signature for Auburn represented another step towards the Tigers competing for SEC titles.
