Auburn football is in a prime position to land a state champion quarterback from the talent-rich state of Georgia.
Travis Burgess, a three-star quarterback from Grayson High School in Loganville, Georgia, tells On3's Chad Simmons that Auburn and North Carolina are the two programs he is focused on ahead of his spring commitment date. Grayson will begin its spring practice session on Thursday, May 1, and Burgess will look to decide quickly after it ends on Friday, May 16.
Auburn has been high on Burgess' list since the beginning of the calendar year when he visited for junior day in January. He has made several visits to the Plains since, most recently during Auburn's spring practice session ahead of A-Day. Burgess still thinks highly of Auburn due to the relationships built with several Auburn assistants.
“Auburn is close to home, the players are great and after my first visit, the connections have been strong," Burgess said in an interview with On3. "Coach Kenyatta Watson, coach (Kent) Austin and coach (Jesse) Stone are great people and great coaches. My connections there are strong. The whole environment sticks out to me at Auburn around the coaches and the players. They are working to build the program back up. Coach Hugh Freeze is getting players in there to compete to bring the program back up.”
Auburn is in a great spot, but it must fight off legendary ex-New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick for his signature. How close is the race?
"It is about 50-50 between those two right now," Burgess said of the race between Auburn and North Carolina.
Burgess is a 6-foot-5, 184-pound quarterback from Grayson High School in Loganville, Georgia. He is a consensus three-star recruit according to every major recruiting outlet, and is the No. 25 quarterback from the 2026 class by On3's Industry Ranking.
