Auburn 2024 CB: ‘I didn’t commit to the coach, I committed to the school’

So far, the transition from Alabaster to Moody couldn’t have gone better for A’mon Lane.

One of the state’s premier cornerback prospects in the 2024 class, Lane transferred schools in April and made a verbal pledge to Auburn in August. Since head coach Jake Ganus took over the Blue Devils, they’re 7-0 (3-0 Class 5A, Region 6) with Lane a pillar of the secondary.

The four-star and No. 12 junior in Alabama, per 247Sports Composite rankings, has deflected two passes and made 36 total tackles. Lane said it felt like something special is brewing inside Bill Morris Stadium.

After a 53-14 blowout win over Springville on Sept. 30, Lane spoke to AL.com’ s Wes Sinor about his early decision and gave his view on the Tigers’ season. Lane, listed at 5-foot-11, 180-pounds said Auburn is a good team that’s figuring out its quarterback situation. Speculation hasn’t stopped about head coach Bryan Harsin’s job status, but Lane said he’s still “locked in” with the Tigers.

“Well, I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t commit to the coach, I committed to the school,” Lane said. “If it’s in God’s will, I’ll be at Auburn. If not, I’ll just open up my recruitment, but I think my options won’t change.

“I’m still committed and I’m still going to be committed til I don’t know.”

Lane said the schools he’s still in contact with are Tennessee, Ole Miss and Clemson.
