Auburn RB commit J’Marion Burnette had some interesting things to say about his commitment to the Tigers on Twitter.

“My recruitment is 100% open still committed to auburn just opened to options!” Burnette tweeted on Wednesday morning.

Auburn has added another four-star to the 2024 recruiting class in the form of running back J'Marion "Phat" Burnette.

Burnette, the four-star running back out of Andalusia, had a stellar junior season for the Bulldogs. He totaled 1,473 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns. This follows a video game-like sophomore season in which he had 2,281 rushing yards to go along with 12 touchdowns.

These stats combined with stellar camp workouts have made him a hot commodity in the 2024 recruiting cycle. He has offers from many of the top SEC schools like Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Arkansas.

Burnette and Cadillac Williams' connection and relationship has undoubtedly been one of the keys to this recruitment, not only as his potential position coach but as a representation of what Auburn running backs are capable of becoming.

The addition of Burnette adds not only talent to the 2024 class but an even more heightened look into the 2025 class. Specifically, the RB class as top targets are Alvin Henderson and Anthony Rogers. Henderson, who is cousins with Burnette, would not only have his already established and close relationship with Cadillac Williams but the addition of his cousin could make Auburn an even bigger factor in his recruitment.
