Chandler Wooten loves the big stages. That’s why he wanted to play in the Southeastern Conference.
With offers from most of the league’s heavyweights, he opted for Auburn last spring over Tennessee and Florida among others, and he’s heard about that from Georgia fans in his home state.

But before he plays on the big stage of the SEC, he will play on the big stage of the Under Armour All-America Game in Orlando on Jan. 1.
