Auburn lands commitment from 4-star athlete Zion Puckett over SEC rivals
Published:
Auburn is heading into the weekend with some solid recruiting momentum as top Georgia athlete Zion Puckett has committed to the Tigers over Alabama and Tennessee.
The 6-foot, 200-pound Puckett is a native of Griffin, Ga., and plays for Spalding High School. He’s rated as a four-star prospect, the No. 104 overall prospect and No. 7 athlete in the nation by 247Sports Composite Rankings. He could play both defensive back or receiver in college but it should be noted that the Tigers do not hold a commitment from a cornerback at this point in the recruiting calendar.
His pledge gives the Tigers 16 commitments for the 2019 recruiting cycle.
Puckett announced his decision with the following video:
