Four-star running back [autotag]J’Marion Burnette[/autotag] is one of Auburn’s top targets at running back and his recruitment will be coming to a close soon.
According to Christian Clemente of Auburn Undercover, he will be announcing his commitment Friday.
The 6-foot-1, 210-pound Burnette is from Andalusia, Alabama, and has a top 10 of Auburn, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Michigan, Penn State, Texas, Oregon, and Florida State.
He is the No. 158 overall player and No. 10 running back in the 247Sports Composite ranking. He is also the No. 8 player from Alabama.
He has visited Auburn multiple times and has spoken glowingly of Auburn running backs coach [autotag]Cadillac Williams[/autotag]. Burnette rushed for 1,479 yards and 17 touchdowns last season. He averaged 133.9 yards per game as he led Andalusia to a 14-1 record.
Auburn has received two Crystal Balls to land Burnette by 247Sports writers.
The Tigers currently have three commitments in their 2024 recruiting class, four-star quarterback Walker White and four-star cornerbacks Jayden Lewis and A’Mon Lane.
