Cam Newton

Soon after Cam left The University of Florida he decided to settle down at Auburn and play football for me the head coach of the Auburn Tigers. Cam's father tried to make him go to many other colleges of his own choice and left at Cam's opinion. Cam's father was sat aside and left Cam for the college choice. He had very many division one scholarships and had very great teams to choose from before settling down at Auburn he beat out former Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow at The University of Florida but after he suffered an ankle injury when playing the season opener in Hawaii he decided to take a red shirt season.

Cam is now the star of our football team. He can run and throw to any one any where on the field even under pressure. Cam led us to many victories against many great teams and soon college's started noticing his football abilities and became the Heisman Trophy winner. Before Cam had even led Auburn to the SEC Championship against the Oregon Ducks. The Oregon Ducks also had a star player Lamichael James he was also a candidate for the Heisman Trophy and a very good running back. We almost had no chance of stopping him he was destroying us and our defense. But when we finally figured out how to stop him there was no chance at stopping us on offense with Cam. Before the SEC National Championship game Cam had won the Heisman Trophy over a former Oregon Ducks running back Lamichael James. They were both amazing football athletes going head to head in a battle to win the BCS Championship Game Cam led Auburn to a victory and claimed the NCAA Championship Title. Newton transfer'd to many colleges during his four years, at the University Of Florida. In 2007, as a freshman, Newton beat out fellow freshman quarterback John Brantley as the back-up for star quarterback and eventual Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. He played in five games, passing for 40 yards on 5-of-10 and rushing 16 times for 103 yards and three touchdowns. In 2008, during his sophomore season, Newton played in the season opener against Hawaii but suffered an ankle injury and decided to take a medical redshirt season.

Cam had many great games that he played which made him very noticeable for the NFL. So when Auburn had him the team and I had enjoyed every minute on the field and the field. During practice before the games we enjoyed his freestyles as he called him self a “rapper” and he thought he was the best, but really his raps were god awful. Cam had a great personality and always brightened up the mood when ever some one was down. He was great to have on the team a star player, best we quarterback we have had in a while he led us to many victories. Cams father Cecil Newton had illegal activities with colleges trying to get money from some and Cam his son would play for their team as quarterback. Cecil Newton told the head coach of Mississippi State it would take "more than a scholarship" to bring his son to Mississippi State.

It was almost time for the opening game of the season, the whole team was messing around and throwing footballs to each other when Cam threw a bomb to the teams star receiver and while Cam threw it had rolled his ankle. But it was more then that he had fractured his ankle so bad he was out for the season. The team was crushed with out Cam, the offense could not score a point with out Cam. For some reason the receivers could not catch a ball that wasn't thrown by Cam the back up quarterback was pretty good but the receivers could not catch anything that was thrown by him. Even the defense was horrible with out Cam it seemed as if he was the teams good luck charm when he was on the field with him on the field we were unstoppable. It was the last game of the season Cam was still out and sitting on the bench cheering the team on through the pouring rain. It was an awful game to begin with and the rain made it even worse when we were on offense we either threw interceptions, fumbled the ball, or dropped passes thrown. On defense we dug ourselves into a giant whole and did nothing. It seemed as if they weren’t even trying every time the other team had the ball first thing they did was score. Cam was sitting on the bench shaking his head. He couldn't believe what was happening. But that was when it had hit him and he made his way over to the locker room on his crutches. He cut, teared, and tore the wrap that was around his ankle off. He could barley walk but he knew in his heart he had to do this. He suited up in his uniform and walked out of the locker room. He could not even begin to think what every one would say, they were all in aw and started clapping and cheering. The crowd and the team went nuts. Cam had only 15 minutes to turn this game around. Cam hobbled his way onto the field still the crowd roaring and chanting his name. As soon as he called the play and he snapped the ball they were in the end zone. But they were still down by 32 points, the defense got themselves out of the giant whole they dug and stepped up there game. The defense was atrocious dropping kids all over the field. Once again Cam on one foot got the team in the end zone. With almost no time left Cam and the team had caught up to the other team only down by a touchdown with 24 seconds to go and the ball on the 50 yard line this was no problem for Cam. He marched the team down the field and won the game! The crowd was in shock how Auburn pulled it off. The team went wild every one shoving and hugging Cam for his amazing win to end the game.

It was terrible to watch Cam leave and go pro and walk off to the Carolina Panthers but it truly was a great accomplishment for Cam. Cam will be missed by Auburns sport program but by the football program the most. Cam was the best athlete at this school we have had in a long long time. The team just cheering him on in the pros. We have plaques all over the school with his name on them. Cam was amazing he had the nicest personality in the school he was nice to every one and was always willing to help any one. Cam always comes to visit me he was always my favorite football player and still is. This school will miss him very much.
