Plant wideout Derek Winter wrapped up a busy Thursday by getting a full scholarship offer from Auburn University.

The Tigers had previously offered Winter a deferred “gray shirt” scholarship, but came through with the full offer Thursday night.

“He spent the day at Florida for his official visit and then the evening with the Auburn coach,” Plant coach Robert Weiner said. “Then he got on the phone with Virginia to set up his visit for this weekend.”

Winter will visit the Virginia campus beginning Friday. Weiner anticipates Winter will announce his decision before Wednesday’s National Signing Day.

Also on Thursday, Plant junior quarterback Aaron Murray received his 24th and 25th scholarship offers. Iowa and Illinois coaches paid a visit to the Panthers campus and extended offers to Murray.

Hope he picks USF or Auburn.  He’ll fit into both schemes well.  He is excellent at finding space and in the spread there is always space.

The cornerstone of Plant’s success.  The best football player I have ever seen in my entire life.
