Top247 2024 QB Walker White commits to Auburn

3 minutes ago

Little Rock (Ark.) Christian Academy Top247 2024 quarterback Walker White announced his commitment to Auburn on Friday afternoon during a live broadcast on the 247Sports YouTube Channel.

The 6-foot-4, 218-pound White chose to play for Hugh Freeze and the Tigers over his other finalists in Baylor and Clemson. He also strongly considered the likes of Arkansas and at one point long-time leader Ole Miss.

Tabbed by 247Sports as the nation’s No. 8 quarterback and No. 92 prospect overall, White visited The Plains in January and towards the end of his visit he got a chance to check out Jordan-Hare Stadium.

“As soon as I stepped on that football field my heart (jumped),” White told 247Sports. “I said this is the place.”

It was still the place following White’s future visits to Baylor and Clemson. Regardless of how great those trip were, they din’t give him the same feeling as the one he had spending the day at Auburn.

“When I go to Auburn, I know I’ll be developed to my full potential,” White said. He’s excited to play for Freeze, offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery, quarterbacks coach Jesse Stone and the staff.

“They are geniuses about offense and the quarterback position,” White stated.

White added that he loved the vibe when he was on campus and in the football facility.

“You can tell it’s very family oriented and the players enjoy being there and you could see the players getting extra workouts,” White said. “It was special to see the attitude on the team was an extra-work mentality.”

As a junior White threw for nearly 2,000 yards and 25 touchdowns with another 837 rushing yards and 16 more scores. He is commit No. 3 for the Tigers in the 2024 class joining fellow four-stars in cornerbacks Jaden Lewis and A’Mon Lane. White reiterated to 247Sports what he said earlier in the week about how the entire Auburn staff welcomed him when they first walked through the door for his visit. His family loves the decision too.

“I think I loved about Auburn what he does,” White’s father David told 247Sports. “The guys that are going to be in charge of developing him as a player, there are several of them and they’re all really good quarterback coaches. I think the quarterback room there coaching-wise is top notch. Being in the SEC West I love that. We’re going to be able to watch him play at a lot of places we love to watch games at. The new staff is so excited and so energetic and really believes Walker can be a big part of building on what they’re doing. They cast a vision for him personally how he would fit in the program personally and it resonated with Walker big time and I felt the same way.”

White’s head coach Eric Cohu obviously loves the pickup for Auburn.

“He’s one of the hardest-working players I’ve ever coached and he has got a professional work ethic, great character, solid young man,” Cohu said. “He’s a personality that does great leading in the locker room and on the field. Players love him. He’s well rounded.

"He’s such a phenomenal athlete," Cohu continued. "He’s big, he’s strong, he’s fast. He’s a guy that is athletically can take over a game. He can obviously spin the ball really well. Game time, when you’re talking about someone that strong and fast, arm strength, he has made some phenomenal plays for us.”

OK, so this leads me back to what I have been saying in this thread for the last several weeks. If we want to be elite, we have to beat Clemson for elite players, especially quarterbacks. This is the type of recruiting effort that we need to expect at Auburn. War eagle!

Im not giving up on WW just yet. I know all the signs right now seem to point to Clemson, but I don't know ...I feel a weirdness around this recruitment. Could be from the lack of comments from our Mods and "insiders"....but I am holding out hope that he commits to the good guys Friday lol.

You might be on to something. I’m not saying it’s a guarantee he’ll pick Auburn, but he’s talking here like he’s already made his decision:

”White shared with 247Sports how he feels about Auburn:

‘When I went to Auburn one of the first things and how they introduced things, all the coaches met me at the front of the facility. It was very cool. That was the first time it happened for me. It was really special for me, it showed everyone on the staff knew I was coming and all made a point to meet me and my family. We went on a facility tour which is a beautiful facility and I got to meet with their strength coach. Me and him clicked really quickly and I understand I’ll be working a lot with him. I loved their staff and they all seemed to really like me and my family. We had a good time hanging with the staff to get to know everyone. Just getting to be around Coach Freeze and Coach Montgomery along with Coach Austin and Coach Stone, their offensive staff is very impressive to me how intelligent and experienced that offensive staff room is in working with the quarterbacks. My biggest thing is development of quarterback and I see myself getting to my best at Auburn.”

Like @Tigerpro2a and I said, it really sounded here like he'd already made the decision. HUGE momentum for the future! WDE boys and girls!

Movie gif. Jack Nicholson as Dr. Buddy Rydell in Anger Management nods menacingly as we zoom in on his face.
