Five-star WR Perry Thompson set to visit Auburn for Big Cat Weekend

In this story:
Auburn is set to host five-star wide receiver Perry Thompson during Big Cat Weekend, per Thompson's social media.
Thompson, the No. 7 wide receiver and No. 31 overall prospect in the 2024 recruiting cycle (according to the 247Sports composite rankings), has been committed to the Crimson Tide for a little over nine months. The recent surge from Auburn was in large part due to new wide receivers coach Marcus Davis building a strong connection with Thompson and getting him on the Plains for A-Day.
If Auburn were to land him, he would be the first five-star recruit to sign with Auburn since Owen Pappoe, and the first in-state five-star since Bo Nix - both of which signed half a decade ago with the Tigers.
I will be in auburn for big cat weekend😼

Thompson took a visit to Auburn on June 16th.
A Foley native and a large 6-foot-3, 205 pound receiver, Thompson's obvious comparison is Alabama superstar Julio Jones. He has performed at a Jones-like level in his high school career so far, racking up over over 1,800 yards receiving and 15 touchdowns in his three years as a starter for the Foley Lions.
Five-star safety KJ Bolden will also be attending Big Cat Weekend with the Tigers.
Big Cat Weekend will begin on July 29th.
