College Football Journey
Playing for the Florida Gators

Newton started his college career at the University of Florida. He played for the Florida Gators football team in 2007 and 2008. As a freshman, he was the backup quarterback to Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow. He played in five games, throwing for 40 yards and rushing for 103 yards with three touchdowns. In 2008, he played in one game but got an ankle injury. He then took a medical redshirt season.
In late 2008, Newton faced some issues off the field involving a laptop computer. He was suspended from the team. All charges were later dropped after he completed a program. Newton decided to transfer from Florida in early 2009.
Time at Blinn College
In January 2009, Newton transferred to Blinn College in Texas. He led his team to the 2009 NJCAA National Football Championship. He threw for 2,833 yards and 22 touchdowns. He also rushed for 655 yards. He was recognized as a top junior college quarterback. After his successful season, he was highly sought after by many universities. He eventually chose to sign with the Auburn Tigers.
Becoming a Star at Auburn University
Newton quickly became the starting quarterback for Auburn University in 2010. His coach, Gus Malzahn, helped him improve his throwing skills. Newton had an amazing first game against Arkansas State. He had 186 passing yards, 171 rushing yards, and five total touchdowns. He was named SEC Offensive Player of the Week.
He continued to shine throughout the season. In one game, he threw a 94-yard touchdown pass, which was the longest in school history. He also rushed for 198 yards and four touchdowns against Kentucky. Media reports soon started mentioning him as a top candidate for the Heisman Trophy.
On October 23, Newton rushed for 217 yards against LSU. This broke the SEC record for rushing yards by a quarterback in a season. He also broke Auburn's school record for most touchdowns in a single season. One of his runs, a 49-yard touchdown, was called his "Heisman moment." Auburn became the No. 1 team in the country.
Newton led Auburn to a big comeback victory against rival Alabama in the Iron Bowl. They were down 24–0 but won 28–27. This was the biggest comeback in Auburn's history. He threw for three touchdowns and ran for another.
On December 4, 2010, Newton led the Tigers to win the SEC Championship. They beat South Carolina 56–17. Newton was named the game MVP. He threw for 335 yards and scored a career-best six total touchdowns. He became one of only a few players in NCAA history to throw and run for 20-plus touchdowns in a season. He won the 2010 SEC Offensive Player of the Year and the AP Player of the Year.
Newton was a finalist for the 2010 Heisman Trophy. He won it by a huge margin. He was the third Auburn player to win this prestigious award.

Auburn won a close game, 22–19, to become national champions. Newton threw for 262 yards and two touchdowns. Three days later, he decided to enter the 2011 NFL draft. Many sportswriters believe his 2010 season was one of the best ever by a college player.
College Eligibility Discussion
During the 2010 season, there were questions about Newton's eligibility. This was because his father, Cecil Newton, was accused of asking for money from another college during Cam's recruitment. This would have broken college sports rules. Auburn said they were not involved and that Cam was eligible to play.
The NCAA investigated the situation. On November 30, Auburn declared Cam Newton ineligible. However, Auburn quickly appealed, arguing that Cam Newton did not know about his father's actions. The NCAA agreed and reinstated Newton the very next day. They found no strong evidence that Cam Newton or Auburn knew about his father's actions. This allowed Newton to play in the SEC Championship Game and win the Heisman Trophy. The NCAA officially closed its investigation in October 2011. They found no evidence of wrongdoing by Auburn.
