Former AUBURN UNIVERSITY quarterback JASON CAMPBELL will replace another former AUBURN quarterback, STAN WHITE, as radio analyst for AUBURN football in 2023, working alongside play-by-play voice ANDY BURCHAM on PLAYFLY's AUBURN SPORTS NETWORK. CAMPBELL, who has been serving as pregame and halftime show analyst since 2016, will be just the third radio analyst for the TIGERS in 43 years, following WHITE, who became analyst in 2001, and CHARLIE TROTMAN, who did the job in 1980-2000.
"I would like to thank God for this amazing opportunity to continue doing something I enjoy and love," said CAMPBELL. "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."
WHITE said, "I'm very pleased and excited that JASON will be carrying the torch into the future as the analyst for the AUBURN SPORTS NETWORK. It's a very small fraternity in that there's only been three color analysts with the network spanning the last 43 years since 1980. I had the honor of being that analyst for the past 22 years. I also had the pleasure of calling games that JASON was at the helm quarterbacking and leading his team to an undefeated season in 2004. Since 2016, as a member of our network crew, I've gotten to know JASON as a friend and colleague. I have zero doubt that he will do an outstanding job."
BURCHAM added, "STAN has given the last 22 years of his life, in part, to AUBURN football and the AUBURN SPORTS NETWORK. 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. He continues the tradition of outstanding quarterbacks who have moved into the booth, including PAT SULLIVAN, CHARLIE TROTMAN and STAN WHITE. I look forward to working alongside JASON starting with the A-Day game."
