4-star Auburn target Jayden Lewis sets commitment date
One of Auburn’s top defensive targets in the 2024 class has set his commitment date.
Jayden Lewis, a 4-star cornerback from Anniston (Ala.), will announce his college choice Wednesday. The time is not yet known.
He just visited Auburn on Saturday for the first Junior Day of the Hugh Freeze era.
Lewis, listed at 5-foot-10, 165 pounds, is the No. 20 corner in the country and No. 15 recruit in the state of Alabama’s 2024 class for the On3 Consensus.
At this time, Auburn is a big favorite to land him in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine. The Tigers have a 97.5% projection rate. Tennessee at 1%, is next.
Auburn Live’s Keith Niebuhr (Jan. 23) and Jeffrey Lee (Jan. 28) each have logged predictions for Lewis to choose the Tigers.
Lewis raved about Auburn after visiting there Saturday.
“Auburn is a family feel for me,” he said. “I love the campus. I love the people. The main thing is going somewhere I’m wanted and not just where I want to go. And Auburn definitely wants me.”

In fact, the visit went even better than expected.
“It went great,” Lewis said. “It was everything I expected and a little bit more actually.”
Lewis arrived in Auburn Saturday morning and stayed until the afternoon. He was one of 204 recruits on campus for Junior Day.
He spoke to secondary coaches Zac Etheridge and Wesley McGriff and to Freeze.
“I spoke to all of them,” he said. “They are my type of coaches 100 percent.”
Two weeks ago, Lewis named a top six of Auburn, Arkansas, Florida State, Ole Miss, South Carolina and Tennessee.
Why did Auburn make the cut for Lewis?
“Mainly because they show me the most love,” Lewis said. “Every time I go it feels like home and I really want to go where I’m wanted, not just where I want to go. That makes a big impact on me. They’re always keeping in touch with me, keeping communication, making sure I’m straight.”
