Several Auburn commits were on a bye week last week.

However, that didn't stop the rest of the commits from having another week of solid play, especially the receivers. All three of Auburn's wide receiver commits reached triple digits in receiving yardage, with Rivals100 recruit Perry Thompson leading the way.

Thompson is this week's Big Cat of the Week for his performance against Saraland. Let's get into the numbers for Thompson and the rest of the future Tigers.

Perry Thompson, 2024 WR (Foley, Ala.)

Even though Foley was dominated 70-20 by arguably the state's best team, Saraland, Thompson still found a way to put up big numbers. The wide receiver commit hauled in seven receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown.

He also had one carry, but that only went for one yard.
