toddc 13,194 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Ohio State WR transfer Caleb Burton commits to Auburn 5 minutes ago When Caleb Burton came into his Auburn visit, he noted his expectations weren't all that high. But after visiting Auburn and a few other spots, the Plains was where he wanted to be as the former Ohio State receiver announced his commitment. "I enjoyed it a lot," Burton said after his visit. "I enjoyed talking to everybody and learning a whole bunch of things. Really meshed with Coach (Marcus) Davis. Everything I’ve seen so far has been exciting. Nice campus, met some of the guys on the team and they seemed really cool." Wide receiver has been a huge need for Auburn this whole offseason as Hugh Freeze looks to rebuild Auburn, with Burton a young, but exciting addition to the room. In the 2022 recruiting cycle, Burton was the No. 71 overall player and No. 10 wide receiver in his class, but joined a loaded Ohio State receivers room and redshirted as a freshman. Burton was injured on the first day of spring practice this year and ended up transferring afterward looking for a fresh start. After Landen King and Tar'Varish Dawson both departed, Auburn has been even more in need of adding both depth and star power to a thin receiver room. 3COMMENTS "I think it’s big and I know something they’ve been harping on is need more wide receivers on the team and I think that’s a great opportunity," Burton said. Burton commits a day after Auburn landing its transfer quarterback, Michigan State's Payton Thorne. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize he was injured at the start of Spring Ball that kept him out of most if not all Spring right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had awful luck with injuries and barely even practiced at OSU. Could be an issue going forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardin Drake 1,892 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 The kid has had injury issues but he was one of the most coveted players in Texas in the 2022 cycle.  If he can stay healthy, he will start. Great hands. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI: knee injury in HS kept him out of his Jr season, then another injury the 1st day of spring practice this year when "he heard something pop."  Link Hope he's past all that and his AU career is injury-free.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
