“I loved it up there,” Hamilton told Auburn Live following the January visit. “The new facilities were amazing, the staff was amazing and after everything was over I sat down and talked to (linebackers coach Josh) Aldridge one-on-one. I loved the whole visit.
““The coaches mostly preach how good of a school Auburn is and they need guys like me to turn the program around and that they will get Auburn back to where they once were. I have high Interest in Auburn. They are in my top 10 for a reason. I believe a change is coming and it’s something I would love to be apart of.”
Hamilton also noted following that visit he’ll likely commit sometime between April and August.
Hamilton currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $23K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
