No doubts for Gatewood after visit for A-Day

AUBURN, Ala. | Auburn 2018 quarterback commitment Joey Gatewood can’t see himself attending college anywhere but Auburn.

Gatewood, from Bartram Trail in Jacksonville, Fla., attended the Tigers’ A-Day game with his mother on Saturday and left as firmly committed as when he arrived.

“It was really fun. I loved it,” Gatewood said. “I loved everything about it. We got here (Saturday) and toured the facilities and then went to the game. The atmosphere was great. The fans are amazing. I enjoyed watching the game. We had a lot of fun.”

Gatewood focused his attention on Auburn’s quarterbacks during the game. He also kept an eye on the offense. Gatewood continues to feel it’s the right system for him to succeed.

“I think I fit their offense very well,” Gatewood said. “I think it’s going to be crazy when I get here.”

Gatewood has two more seasons to play in high school before signing with Auburn. They will be two long seasons for the rising junior.

“Two more years, I can’t wait,” Gatewood said. “I love it here. I’m as solid as when I first committed, 110 percent.”

Gatewood, who stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 225 pounds, completed 59-of-103 pass attempts for 713 yards with six touchdowns and three interceptions. He also rushed for 871 yards and six touchdowns on 133 carries (6.5 avg.).
