For months, those who follow recruiting have undoubtedly read the same few lines regarding Joey Gatewood. The 6 foot, five inch, 230 pound consensus four-star athlete is viewed as the crown jewel in Auburn’s early signing period. However, despite being compared to Cam Newton he wasn’t even the starting quarterback on his high school team. Rivals ranks him as the seventh best dual-threat quarterback in this class and the 28th best football player in Florida, the second deepest state in the country in terms of producing D1 athletes. The Jacksonville native held offers from virtually every major program in the country but never wavered in his commitment to Auburn.
