Five-star WR Perry Thompson sets visit with Auburn
Perry Thompson, a current Alabama commit and five-star wide receiver, is set to take a visit to Auburn, per his 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. Thompson would be the first in-state five-star since Bo Nix.
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.
The Tigers currently have five players committed in the 2024 class, including four-stars J'Marion Burnette (RB), Walker White (QB), A'Mon Lane (CB), Jayden Lewis (CB), and Martavious Collins (TE)
