AUBURN -- Big Cat Weekend landed a new addition to Auburn's 2016 recruiting class.

Consensus four-star wide receiver Elijah Stove committed to Auburn Saturday afternoon, according to multiple reports from the recruiting sites covering the program's signature recruiting weekend.

A 6-foot-1 178 pound prospect from Niceville, Florida, Stove is ranked the No. 7 wide receiver and No. 68 overall prospect in the 2016 class in the 247Sports Composite rankings.

Stove is the seventh commitment to Auburn's 2016 recruiting class, which moved up to No. 19 in the Rivals rankings and No. 24 in the 247Sports Composite rankings.

He is currently the only wide receiver commit in Auburn's class after five- star prospect Nate Craig-Myers, who is also in town for Big Cat Weekend, decommitted earlier this month.

Stove had 54 receptions for 719 yards and 10 touchdowns along with two rushing scores last year.
