The Auburn Tigers have lost a major member of their 2024 recruiting class. Four-star center [autotag]Peyton Marshall[/autotag] has decommitted from the Tigers, according to On3’s Joe Tipton.
He gave a statement to Tipton on his decision:
“First and foremost I would like to thank Bruce Pearl and the Auburn coaching staff. After news of recent coaching staff changes within the program and recents talks with the ones closest to me, it is within my best interest to re-open my recruitment. I truly appreciate the support the fans and basketball community have given me. I will be decommitting from the Auburn University. Please respect my decision.”
The 7-foot, 300-pounder committed to Auburn on Dec. 9, 2022, and one of his primary recruiters was [autotag]Wes Flanigan[/autotag], who recently left Auburn’s coaching staff.
Marshall is the No. 82 overall player and No. 13 center in the 247Sports composite. He is the No. 8 player from Georgia.
Auburn still has commitments from five-star point guard [autotag]Tahaad Pettifort[/autotag] and four-star combo guard [autotag]Labaon Philon[/autotag].
