Former Auburn QB finds new home within the ACC

A member of Auburn’s 2018 signing class has committed to his fourth college program.

Gatewood, who signed with Auburn as a quarterback during the 2018 recruiting cycle, has found a new home by committing to the Louisville Cardinals. Louisville is the fourth stop in his college journey, previously playing for Kentucky and UCF in addition to Auburn.

Gatewood signed with Auburn as the No. 36 player in the 2018 ESPN 300 rankings and was the No. 3 quarterback of the class, trailing only former Georgia/Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields and UCLA’s Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

He has been a quarterback for three programs but has not entirely found an identity as a QB1. Between his stops at Auburn, Kentucky, and UCF, Gatewood has passed for just 180 yards on 24-of-51 passes with three touchdowns. As a member of the UCF roster, Gatewood moved to wide receiver for the 2022 season but failed to record any receptions.

It is unclear how head coach Jeff Brohm plans to use Gatewood’s talents, but here is to hoping that Gatewood finds success in Derby City.
