BOOM!!! 4-Star Safety Chris Thompson Jr Spurns Horns for Tigers

Well this is quite the shocker! 4* S Chris Thompson Jr has long been thought to be a Longhorn lean. However, AuburnUndercover’s Keith Niebuhr started reporting early this past week that Auburn actually felt like this was a 50/50 race they had a shot at winning. Most people, myself included, still though that even if this race was a bit tighter, Thompson would elect to stay instate and attend Texas. Thompson had other plans.

I cannot understate how big a win on the recruiting trail this is for Auburn’s staff, specifically Wesley McGriff.
