Oh the name Newton. It means royalty in Auburn. Cam Newton was one of the game’s greatest quarterbacks of all time in college. He led Auburn to a perfect National Championship season and won countless awards including the Heisman Trophy.
There’s now a different Newton in Auburn. On Friday evening, Caylin Newton, the former Howard quarterback, out of the blue announced that he’d be playing his next two seasons at Auburn. And just letting you know right now, Caylin is good. Really good.
Now will he play quarterback like he did at Howard? He’s listed as an athlete now meaning he could be anywhere from a quarterback to a receiver.
The 6-feet, 195-pound grad transfer, will be a preferred walk-on with Auburn. At least at first. He’ll have a chance to earn a scholarship.
Like I said earlier, Newton will have two years of eligibility.
This is big news for the Tigers regardless of which position he plays.
War Eagle!!
