Amidst the FBI's investigation of Auburn men's basketball, the Tigers' recruiting pillar is the first to crumble.
Four-star 2018 prospect E.J. Montgomery has decommitted from Auburn, Montgomery's father told Scout.com early Wednesday morning.
Montgomery, a 6-foot-10 power forward from Marietta, Georgia, committed to Bruce Pearl and Auburn on Sept. 22, 2016. A year later, his recruitment has reopened.
Montgomery is ranked as the No. 17 overall prospect in the 2018 class by Scout.com and the No. 4 power forward in the class.
Montgomery's sister, Brandy, played four seasons at Auburn prior to her graduation last spring.
Montgomery was the Tigers’ lone commitment in the class of 2018.
