4-Star Athlete Cam’Ron Kelly Has Signed With Auburn

One of the best out of the state of Virginia is headed to the Plains.
It’s not often Auburn heads up to Virginia and signs a top 230 player but that’s exactly what happened this go around. Give Marcus Woodson some serious credit in this recruitment. He wanted 4* ATH Cam’Ron Kelly and stayed after the talented athlete until he could get him on a visit in July. That changed everything. Kelly backed away from his Virginia Tech pledge and then announced his intentions to sign with Auburn. North Carolina made a late push but it was for naught as today Kelly officially signed with the Tigers.

Kelly was a star QB at Oscar Smith in Chesapeake, VA but also played some defensive back. Still, I think there might be a bit of a learning curve as he adjusts full time to being a DB. But this dude is immensely talented. At 6’1” 190 lbs, he’s got outstanding size and possesses elite short area quickness that allows him to close on a ball carrier in a hurry. I actually think he projects better as a safety or at the Star spot but he will start his career at cornerback. Given his athleticism, he will probably prove me wrong and I got no problem with that what so ever.
Kelly is also a very smart kid that seems to understand the game and given his experience as a QB, I would not be surprised if he quickly becomes a vocal leader in the back end of this Auburn defense

War Eagle Cam’Ron!
