I think this is a big pickup for Auburn. He has an impressive offer list and can fit in at any number of positions.
Welcome, and War Eagle, C.J.!

He looks like a pretty good player, the versatile type that Gus Malzahn loves to have in his offense.

I can imagine him having lots of plans for someone 6-5, 230. Basically, players Auburn has right now that fit this mold are Lutz and ... well, Lutz. So it's probably good for the Tigers to another athlete like this.
