J’Marion Burnette becomes latest Auburn commit to ‘shut down’ recruitment

This is a trend that everyone can get behind.

This is a trend that we could all get used to.

[autotag]J’Marion Burnette[/autotag], a four-star running back from Andalusia, became Auburn’s fourth commit of the 2024 class when he pledged to Auburn in March. On Thursday, he shared he would shut down his recruitment and focus solely on Auburn until the early signing period in December.

He becomes the latest 2024 commit to make such a decision. Four-star QB [autotag]Walker White[/autotag] kicked off the trend and has basically served as an extra recruiter for Auburn since committing to the program in February. Three-star tight end [autotag]Martavious Collins[/autotag] announced earlier this week that he would shut down his recruitment. Four-star DB [autotag]A’Mon Lane[/autotag] followed suit by doing the same on Tuesday.

As [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] works to rebuild the program, it can not be stressed how important it is for him to hold on to his best recruits. If Burnette and fellow pledges continue to persuade others to follow the trend, the days of waiting until signing day to get excited over a top recruit will soon end.
