FOLEY, ALABAMA<\/strong> \u2013 Auburn Live was back on the high school football scene Friday night. This time, we were in Foley, Ala. for the 7A matchup between Foley (Ala.) High and Baker (Ala.) High. The spotlight was on 5-star Auburn wide receiver commit Perry Thompson<\/a><\/strong> who is taking on 4-star Auburn wide receiver commit Bryce Cain<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In-game notes and analysis<\/h2>\n

\u2014 No Thompson on defense so far. Not anything unusual as he is a receiver first.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Perry Thompson gets the first return for Foley after a Baker touchdown that was run heavy.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Thompson gets the first throw out of the backfield. He makes the first man miss for one of the more impressive short gains you\u2019ll see. No. 1 for Baker who is assigned to Thompson all night is a G5 college prospect.<\/p>\n

\u2014 An out route to Thompson on 3rd down.. He catches and makes the first guy miss again.. Then he Carrie\u2019s three guys out of bounds. And a late hit was added on. He popped back up. Touchdown Foley on a long run. 7-7 late in the first.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Foley gets Thompson involved with the jet sweep look.. He gets a nice hole and breaks 2 tackles on his way to a first down run. Thompson is going to make the first guy miss. Count on it.<\/p>\n

Post-game notes<\/h2>\n

\u2014 Thompson is as advertised. He is a 5-star and he is every bit of it. He is big, he\u2019s physical, he will take a hand off, make a block, chase down a tackle, defend the ball in the air on defense, and make highlight reel catches. <\/p>\n

\u2014 I find myself looking for something to criticize him on, and I come up empty most of the time. Thompson is a football player, which is not always the case for elite athletes. He understands the game and how to play correctly. <\/p>\n

\u2014 Thompson is going to make the first defender miss. He has elite twitch. He also feels where defenders are at all times. The most impressive play (besides the big catch) was his in between the tackles run in which he found the hole and ran through several arm tackles. He is elite.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Thompson was double teamed for most of the second half. Foley did not have any creative ways to get him the ball, so he was mostly taken out of the game. <\/p>\n

\u2014 I think I am most impressed with Thompson\u2019s physicality for his size. He is big, but plays big as well. He played just about every snap for Foley Friday night and had several big plays. <\/p>\n
