Auburn football picks up major commitment

Rodney Scott, dubbed by Rivals.com as one of the nation's top running back prospects, has committed to Auburn.

The 5-foot-9, 185-pound Scott chose Auburn over offers from Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Clemson, Arkansas, Purdue and South Florida, according to AuburnSports.com. He said his final three came down to Auburn, South Carolina and South Florida.

Scott rushed for 2,017 yards (8.1 per carry) and 20 touchdowns for Cross City (Fla.) Dixie County High School as a junior. He's said to be on track to qualify academically.
