Early years
Chandler Wooten was born on April 25, 1999, to Kelvin and Sandra Wooten. Wooten attended North Cobb High School, where was nominated an all-region and state player for Georgia and was a part of the Under Armour All-America game.[2]
College career
Rated as the forty-fifth best college football player in Georgia, Wooten chose to attend Auburn University over the University of Tennessee. In Wooten's freshman year, he served in a backup role, recording sporadic tackles throughout the season. The following year, while not becoming the starter, Wooten was elevated in the depth chart and recorded more tackles than the year prior. In Wooten's junior year, he became the starting linebacker and solidified himself as a presence on the field. In what would have been his final season, Wooten sat out the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Wooten stayed for a fifth season at Auburn due to the NCAA allowing an extra year due to COVID-19 and performed his best, being voted team captain and winning the Shug Jordan Award.[3]
