Five-star WR Perry Thompson signs with Auburn

After weeks of speculation, Thompson has signed with Auburn over Alabama.

One of Auburn’s top commitments from the 2024 cycle has honored his commitment to the program.

[autotag]Perry Thompson[/autotag], a five-star wide receiver from Foley, Alabama, has officially signed his letter of intent with Auburn despite a late push from Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide.

A former Tide pledge, Thompson infamously flipped to Auburn during Big Cat Weekend in July. In a live video from fellow Auburn signee [autotag]Walker White[/autotag]’s Instagram page, Thompson announced his flip to Auburn, then celebrated by throwing Auburn head coach [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] into a pool.

Thompson is the No. 7 wide receiver for the 2024 cycle according to 247Sports, and is the No. 4 overall player from the state of Alabama. As a senior at Foley, he caught 53 passes for 718 yards and seven touchdowns.
