Auburn football fans got the exact recruiting news they were looking for this summer: that 5-star Foley wide receiver Perry Thompson is trending towards the Plains and de-committing from Alabama. Locked On Recruiting Expert Brian Smith was the deliverer of the golden intel on the Locked On Auburn podcast.
In answering host Zac Blackerby’s question about where Thompson might end up, Smith referred to there being more than just smoke to the wideout’s Crimson Tide de-commitment in order to take multiple visits to AU.
“If I had to pick, I would go Auburn,” Smith said (h/t Auburn Daily).
