Gunner Britton's Bio

- 6-foot-6

- 312 pounds

- Senior

Previous school: Western Kentucky

Britton, a four-year starter for Western Kentucky, has committed to Auburn, per his social media page. He was a former two-star OT out of Conway, South Carolina. He will have one year of eligibility remaining.

The 6-foot-6, 305-pound lineman was the second portal offensive tackle to choose the Tigers after Tulsa transfer Dillon Wade picked Auburn in December of 2022.

Britton had a solid season by PFF standards, finishing with a 77.2 grade. His pass block grade of 83.9 was 24th nationally among tackles. He had a career high 84.4 grade in 2021.

It could easily be argued that Britton is more valuable than Wade. Both are great pickups.
