5-Star LB Owen Pappoe Commits to Auburn over Georgia, Texas and More

Auburn added a major talent to its 2019 recruiting class Tuesday when outside linebacker Owen Pappoe gave his commitment to the SEC powerhouse.

Per Chad Simmons of Rivals.com, Pappoe explained why he picked the Tigers over Georgia:

"I have been thinking about this for a long time, so it was really a pretty easy decision. In my mind, I had it down to Auburn and Georgia, then in mid-March, I knew where I wanted to go. I had made my decision.

"It came down to the comfort level at Auburn and how I can come in and make an immediate impact at linebacker.
