Whew....
For much of this cycle 4* TE J.J. Pegues has had the Tigers atop his leaderboard. When Ole Miss fired Matt Luke it felt like maybe that was the final piece to finish this thing off for Auburn. But the always lurking Crimson Tide had something to say about...
Nick Saban’s staff made a strong late push when it became clear they were going to be on the outside looking in for 5* Darnell Washington. Considering Auburn had been Pegues’s leader for so long but hadn’t been able to get him to pull the trigger, it felt like maybe he had been waiting on the green light from the Tide.
