Auburn got some great news Friday as George Pickens, arguably the top receiver in the state for the 2019 recruiting cycle, has just committed to the Tigers during a recent visit to campus. Pickens is the first 2019 prospect to commit to the Tigers.
The 6-foot-5, 190-pound receiver currently has offers from Mississippi State, Arkansas State and Bowling Green heading into his junior season of high school football. Regarded as a four-star prospect, Pickens ranks as the No. 19 receiver and the No. 4 overall prospect from the state of Alabama in the 2019 recruiting cycle.
