Auburn football: Auburn Elite Camp MVP names AU as top school

The Auburn football Elite Camp wrapped up this week and Camden Brown was named the MVP of the camp. Brown announced the award on his Twitter yesterday afternoon:

Camden Brown is a 3-star wide receiver out of St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Brown ranks as the #597 overall player and the #79 wide receiver in the class of 2022. Brown is 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds with 4.5 speed and is a top Auburn wide receiver target for this recruiting cycle.

Brown talked with Keith Niebuhr for Auburn Undercover after his MVP performance and had this to say about Auburn football and his recruitment:

"“They’re (Auburn) at the top right now, because of the culture and how the coaching staff has treated me. And I got to see the facilities. The facilities are awesome.”"

Brown was also asked about the new Auburn staff and specifically about new wide receivers coach, Cornelius Williams:

"“They’ve (Auburn Football & Williams) been keeping in heavy contact with me. They were on me good (Before Thursday), but now it is stronger. Way, way stronger.”"

Brown holds multiple high-profile offers and indicated that Ole Miss and Pitt are the next two schools behind Auburn football in his list of top programs. Brown has set his announcement date for July 1st, which is about three weeks from now.

Auburn football lost a lot of wide receiver production from last season, which is due to the departures of Seth Williams, Eli Stove, and Anthony Schwartz. Auburn football has a lot of unknowns surrounding this position in 2021, which leaves huge openings for the next class of incoming freshmen to earn playing time when they arrive on campus next spring.

Auburn football has landed some of their best players over the past few seasons from the state of Florida. Jeff Holland, Ryan Davis, Eli Stove, Shaun Shivers, & Jamien Sherwood have all been significant pickups for the Tigers in recent years from the Sunshine State. Expect Bryan Harsin to continue this pipeline and Brown could be the next big contributor from the pipeline of Florida.

Camden Brown had an opportunity to shine in front of the Auburn football staff this week and absolutely put on a performance when it was all on the line. Brown has solidified himself as a top prospect for the Tigers and I expect Brown to soar as the rankings across the country are updated and expect more Power-5 programs to put him on their radar.

Harsin and Auburn football have placed themselves in the best position and I predict the Tigers may have their 4th commitment on July 1st, so stay tuned.
