Philon hails from Link Academy in Branson, Missouri, a well-known high school preps powerhouse. The 6-4 point guard is also one of the top PG prospects in the country, ranking No. 3 per 247Sports’ composite rankings.
Auburn currently has 1 pledge in the Class of 2024 cycle, 4-star point guard Tashaad Pettiford, who committed to the Tigers 2 days before Philon originally committed to Auburn back in early February.
