Late August means high school football is sweeping the nation.
As it relates to the Auburn Tigers, here’s a collection of stats and videos of current Auburn commits from this week’s high school football action.
5-star WR Perry Thompson lifts Foley over Prattville
Foley head coach Deric Scott told AL.com’s preps reporter Ben Thomas that Foley’s plan was to get the ball to the Lions’ 5-star talent early and often. And not only was Foley able to do just that, but it paid off for the Lions, who beat Prattville 45-19 at home Friday night.
According to posts on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Foley recorded a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown in the first half.
4-star QB Walker White and Little Rock Christian explode on offense
It might be too early to fall head over heels for a 2024 quarterback prospect, but Walker White’s performance in Little Rock Christian’s 63-0 win over Little Rock Central Friday night should leave Tigers’ fans itching to get White on campus.
White was accountable for four first-half touchdowns Friday night — three passing and one rushing. With the game well in hand, White didn’t play in the second half.
4-star RB J’Marion Burnette scores from 33-yards out for Andalusia

4-star CB Jayden Lewis does it all for Anniston
The Anniston Bulldogs opened their season with a 38-22 win over Wellborn Friday night and Auburn’s 4-star cornerback commit Jayden Lewis put his athleticism on display, returning the second-half kickoff 70 yards to the house, recording a punt return for a touchdown, a receiving touchdown, a pick 6 and a successful two-point conversion.
Local 3-star athlete Malcolm Simmons grabs pair of TD passes
