No. 2 outside linebacker visits Auburn, will return

Jeffrey Lee • AuburnSports

The No. 2 outside linebacker in 2021 visited Auburn again on Saturday. Smael Mondon, a Rivals100 recruit from Paulding County (Ga.), was one of dozens of top recruits at the Tigers’ Junior Day.

For Mondon, it was his third visit to Auburn.

“It was really good,” Mondon said. “We visited the dorms, met with coaches and talked more with them, and then toured around.”

Mondon time with Auburn linebackers coach Travis Williams and defensive coordinator Kevin Steele. The two coaches have made Mondon a priority.

“They are recruiting me hard,” Mondon said. “Coach T-Will is really cool. I like him a lot. I also talked with Coach Steele and like him, too.”

Mondon doesn’t list any favorites, but has high interest in Auburn.

“I don’t have any frontrunners or designated leaders right now, but I like Auburn,” he said. “I like how they are a family-oriented team and I like all the coaches. I’ll be back in the spring.”

Mondon doesn’t plan to announce a commitment before taking more visits.

“I'm not (announcing) anytime soon,” Mondon said.

Rivals ranks Mondon, who is listed at 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, the No. 5 player in Georgia and No. 38 in the Rivals100.

My Tennessee fan who was right about a lot of their recent gets seems pretty confident they get him. I’d be floored.

I haven’t wanted a GA player to Auburn this bad since Carl Lawson. Mondon is in that stratosphere of talent.

Agreed. Seems we’re firmly behind UGA at the moment. T-Will is reeling him as hard as he can though.

So would AU & UGA staffs.

D. Brown was a better player at AU than Lawson, no doubt. As a recruit though, I wanted Lawson more.

Yeah. Dynamic pass rushers are sexier.

No question Lawson was the bigger "name" as a recruit. Cowart, too. They were top-5 overall guys. Maybe even Pappoe, just because we haven't gotten many 5* LBs. (Somehow Tre Williams seemed to kinda fly under the radar as far as 5*s go.)

I know the Bama bump joke well and knew it was sarcasm.

When is Smael scheduled to make his commitment? I hope Auburn lands him.

He doesn't have a scheduled time but people think it will be this month.

Do we have decent shot of landing him?

UGA is considered the favorite but AU is considered in this more than people think.

I realize it's only June, but of our 9 commits, we don't have anyone from Georgia committed to us. Hopefully that will change as we continue to get more commitments in the next few months.
