AU FOOTBALL: Tigers pick up 21st commitment

Thibodaux (La.) wide receiver Trovon Reed, considered the top prospect in Louisiana by some services, committed to Auburn on Friday, giving the Tigers yet another top-billed prospect for their 2010 class, according to the Tigers’ three major recruiting Web sites.

Rivals.com considers the 6-foot, 175-pound Reed the best overall prospect in Louisiana and the No. 37-ranked in the nation. Scout.com ranks him as the 11th best wide receiver in the country. Last Friday, Auburn received a commitment from Little Rock’s Michael Dyer, whom ESPN ranks as the best running back in the country.

After receiving a bevy of offers from most major schools in the country, Reed narrowed his choices down to Auburn, LSU and Oregon before choosing the Tigers on Friday.

Reed is the Tigers’ 21st commitment for the class of 2010 and the third true wide receiver, all of whom are considered four-stars.
