Former Auburn and NFL quarterback Jason Campbell has signed on to become the new color commentator for his alma mater’s football radio broadcasts. He replaces another former Auburn signal caller, Stan White, who announced his retirement last November.
“I would like to thank God for this amazing opportunity to continue doing something I enjoy and love,” Campbell said. “I appreciate the Auburn Sports Network team and Stan for their immediate confidence in me as I move into the analyst role. I know I have incredibly big shoes to fill. It has been a privilege watching and learning from Stan during our time in the booth together. Auburn Family, I look forward to sharing great memories with you alongside the Voice of the Tigers, Andy Burcham, this fall.”
The 41-year-old Campbell was a first round pick of the then-Washington Redskins in the 2005 NFL Draft, playing for five teams during his nine-year career. He joined the Auburn radio crew in 2015 after retiring from the NFL, working as the network’s pregame and halftime analyst.
Campbell becomes the third analyst in the last 43 years for the radio network. Former Auburn quarterback Charlie Trotman worked in the role from 1980-2000, before being succeeded by Stan White.
“Stan has given the last 22 years of his life, in part, to Auburn football and the Auburn Sports Network,” Auburn radio voice Andy Burcham said in a statement. “He has become one of the top analysts, not only in the SEC, but in the country. I thank Stan for his outstanding work and his friendship. He will be missed with our crew and the Auburn Family. We are excited about the next chapter in Jason Campbell’s radio career. He was the overwhelming choice to replace Stan in the booth.”
