Matthew Murrell, a 4-star guard in the 2020 recruiting class, has picked up an offer from Auburn.
The 6-4 shooting guard has already attracted a lot of attention nationally as plenty of schools continue to make him a priority target.
Arkansas, Florida, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and Texas A&M are among the SEC schools that have offered him, with Memphis and NC State also strongly in the mix.

Murrell is rated as the No. 2 shooting guard and No. 86 player overall in the 2020 class, according to 247Sports.
Bruce Pearl and company continue to have success on the recruiting trail after the program’s first-ever Final Four appearance this past season, and that should allow the team to keep its momentum going.
Auburn has compiled a talented class for 2019, which includes a trio of 4-star prospect in Issac Okoro, Tyrell Jones, and Jaylin Williams, as well as 3-star center Babatunde Akingbola and small forward Allen Flanigan.
The Tigers are also considered a frontrunner for Little Rock transfer Rayjon Tucker, who is one of the top grad transfers available.
