5-Star WR Perry Thompson Flips Commitment from Alabama to Auburn

Five-star wide receiver Perry Thompson, who is ranked as the 14th overall prospect on 247Sports' list of class of 2024 football players, has switched his commitment from Alabama to Auburn.

Thompson spoke with Hayes Fawcett of On3 about the move and also confirmed the news on Instagram.

"Honestly just the family feeling and the legacy I can leave behind," Thompson said. "Yeah, I could go to 'Bama, but why not be that change in a program's history."

The 6'3", 202-pound Thompson also expressed his love for the coaching staff, which is now led by Hugh Freeze and features wide receivers coach Marcus Davis.
