Auburn offered Walker White in late December, but in a sense, his recruitment to the Tigers began almost two years ago.
While White and Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze first built a relationship after an offer was extended on Dec. 20, the blue chip quarterback was already well established with one key member of Auburn’s offensive staff.

He also hosted him on campus days later — a visit White said sealed his Feb. 3 commitment to the Tigers. But when White visited Auburn, he said he got a chance to talk to Freeze, Montgomery, special assistant Kent Austin, and offensive analyst Jesse Stone.
“Coach Freeze, when you’re around him, you can just tell he’s a winner,” White said. “He was just so clear in communicating what he was going to do with me and what his plans were and how he sees our class making that jump for Auburn. He related it to when he was at Ole Miss. Our class for him at Ole Miss was the one that made the program really start running, his second recruiting class. And that was his pitch.
Montgomery said Feb. 12 that Auburn intends to only take one quarterback in the 2024 class, and White said the messaging he got from Auburn’s staff on his Jan. 16 visit echoed that sentiment.
