Ohio State transfer WR Caleb Burton commits to Auburn
Caleb Burton, one of the top transfer wide receivers, has committed to Auburn football.
Burton, who is transferring from Ohio State, announced his decision Saturday on Twitter.
“War Eagle!,” Burton wrote on Twitter. “Excited to get to work.”
Burton’s commitment comes less than 24 hours after Michigan State transfer quarterback Payton Thorne announced his commitment to Auburn.
Burton visited Auburn last weekend.
“I enjoyed it a lot,” Burton said. “I enjoyed talking to everybody and learning a whole bunch of things and really meshed with (wide receivers) Coach (Marcus) Davis.
“Everything I saw was very exciting. It’s a nice campus. I met some of the guys on the team and they seem pretty cool.”
Burton also met with Davis and learned of the Tigers’ immediate need at wide receiver. Playing time, or at least the opportunity for early playing time, is very important to players in the transfer portal. And Burton is no different.

“(The opportunity) is big,” he said. “I know something they’ve been harping on is they need more wide receivers on the team. I think that’s a great opportunity for me.”
Burton, who is listed at 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds, did not appear in a game as a true freshman last season due to injuries.
He signed with Ohio State in 2022 as the the No. 160 overall player in the class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, an industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. Burton also ranked the No. 28 receiver in the country and the No. 26 overall recruit in Texas.
He has four years of eligibility.
Transfer portal background information
The NCAA Transfer Portal, which covers every NCAA sport at the Division I, II and III levels, is a private database with names of student-athletes who wish to transfer. It is not accessible to the public.
The process of entering the portal is done through a school’s compliance office. Once a player provides written notification of an intent to transfer, the office enters the player’s name in the database and everything is off and running. The compliance office has 48 hours to comply with the player’s request and that request cannot be refused.
