ImaBarner 0 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Watching the you tube video of Kerryon's commitment, three words came to mind. They were "class" and "Auburn Man." Well done young man and Kerryon welcome home. Just wait until the first time you are in the locker room after a very tough hard fought win, you are dog tired, you are sore all over and your head is pounding, Gus tells you how proud he is of your brothers and you and you each come together and sing "War Eagle" before returning to the field where 80,000 fans are still waiting to tell you they love you. You have a good feel for the Auburn Family now, you will have an even better feel then and all your aches and pains will disappear in a second.

He seems like an all-around great kid. Glad to have him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFightingSoldiers 685 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm very very excited to have him committed! War Eagle Kerryon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFightingSoldiers 685 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I've been trying to think of someone that his running style reminds me of but it's tough. I want to say Kenny Irons but, that's not quite right. Dare I say he reminds me of Darren McFadden?!! He has the talent and speed to run past you but he's not afraid to run through you!

Tivo48 31 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Watching his highlight video, it feels good seeing him run TDs into Bama's endzone (they played a state championship game there). Hopefully he'll be doing plenty of that during his time at AU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattleTiger86 22 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 War Eagle Kerryon. I am really excited you chose AU!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTiger 12,865 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Just watched some video and his running actually reminds me somewhat of Cam-- the way he can weave through defenders making them miss, not looking exceptionally fast while doing so, but just having very good instinctive moves.

ellitor 33,093 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Any idea if Kerryon will get a 5th star this year? He already had and lost it on Rivals. 247 has had him a 4* for a long time. Typical rivals when one commits to AU instead of bama! Lol, WDE Kerryon, u will absolutely love it in Auburn!! Actually we had a number of recruits move up on Rivals last year. I might be wrong, but I think he was joking. Given 6's post history on that issue he's likely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,598 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Great pickup! I'm thinking this ends it for RB's this year if Jovon chooses Auburn as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarTim 3,456 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Great young man with character. Could be a true leader. Welcome young MAN ! ! ! p.s. If he had picked west vance, he would have been given SIX stars" immediately ............. :-\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle84 0 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 ESPN article on his commitment says he's expected to play RB at Auburn, but the highlight video accompanying the article only shows him as a DB. Odd. Wherever he lines up, we're getting a good one. WAR EAGLE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburn4Winners 0 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Does this commitment help us with any other recruits? I'm stoked about Kerryon and maybe some other HS prospects are too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kerryon chooses to help us recruit like TQ does then yes I'd say so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As weird as it is, I agree with you. Doesn't necessarily run like a true RB...more like an athlete. Good comparison IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryon mentioned in during his commitment yesterday that he was looking forward to help recruiting other players to AU. He said the first player he would be focusing on is the DT Payne. I hope he helps us with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
