Even though he’s just heading into his sophomore year at powerhouse Thompson High School, 2027 pass rusher Cameron Pritchett has already established himself as a threat on defense for the Warriors after finishing last season with 40 tackles, 7 tackles for a loss and 6 sacks.

Already with offers from Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan, Ole Miss, Penn State, South Carolina, Texas, Texas A&M and West Virginia, Pritchett continues to gain steam on the recruiting trail following a strong spring.

Last week he was on the Auburn campus along with his teammates as they took part in a 7-on-7 camp with the Tigers. Getting a chance to see the campus, talk to the coaches and check out the facilities, Pritchett said he enjoyed the experience.

“It was a great opportunity for me to build a relationship with the Auburn coaches and just to get to enjoy the atmosphere,” he said of the experience.

Getting the chance to talk with Hugh Freeze and get to know him, Pritchett said he liked what he heard from the Auburn head coach.

“The biggest thing was that he was just letting me know that I’m going to be a big priority and they want me there.”

Already at 6-3, 231 and with an explosive first step and the power to hold his own against the older guys in high school, Pritchett said the opportunity is there for him at Auburn. Even with three years of high school football remaining, he’s watching closely what happens on the Plains.

“I feel like it’s a great school and a great place for me to come in as a freshman and do what I need to do.”

Planning to return to Auburn this fall for a game, Pritchett said the Tigers are definitely on his radar after getting a close up look at the program.

“I do think Auburn will be a school for me in the long run.”
