Jabari Smith, the No. 5 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite and the top power forward, will announce his college decision on Friday at 3:00 pm EST, according to 247Sports.

Smith will be deciding between Auburn, Georgia, Georgia Tech, LSU, North Carolina and Tennessee. The 6-foot-10 and 210-pound power forward spoke with 247Sports about Auburn.

“They play very free, I think they’re a very good defensive team so I think that will bring out the defensive part of my game that people don’t really see. I feel like they always play with long active wings and forwards so I think that will be a good fit for me. They also just talk about how I would fit in their play style.”

Auburn is currently the favorite according to the 247Sports Crystal Ball with the lone prediction favoring them.
