“I would like to take this opportunity to voice my support for H. Res. 1761 and commend a young man on an outstanding season of college football. Cameron Newton came to Auburn in January as a transfer student from Blinn Junior College. After going through a spirited competition to decide the starting quarterback position in spring training he was awarded the job. Fans were wowed, including my 11-year-old daughter Mary Elliott, with his three passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns in Auburn's first game this season. From that point on Mr. Newton continued to lead Auburn through a magical, undefeated regular season and a victory in the SEC championship game over the University of South Carolina. Just as he had started the season Cam concluded it with six touchdowns, two rushing and four passing. By winning the 2010 Heisman Trophy, Newton joins other Heisman winners from the State of Alabama--Mark Ingram of Alabama and Pat Sullivan and Bo Jackson from Auburn. The State of Alabama has been blessed with great college football tradition and Cam Newton and Auburn University have continued that legacy with all of their accomplishments this season.”
