247sports.com Auburn lands commitment from 4star DL Malik Blocton Christian Clemente 3–4 minutes PIKE ROAD, Alabama — Auburn has always been there for Malik Blocton, and now he's there on Auburn's commit list. Ranked in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite as the No. 424 player, No. 44 defensive lineman and No. 24 player from Alabama, Blocton chose the Tigers over Texas, Florida, Alabama and Troy on Saturday. "I mean, it’s just the fanbase and how I can go in early and play at Auburn," Blocton told Auburn Undercover. "Because Auburn’s got a bunch of guys leaving so I feel like Auburn just fit well for me. It’s not too far away from my house, so I feel like my whole family can come to my games. I feel like that’s what made me decide Auburn." First offered by Auburn back as a ninth grader, Blocton has been a consistent presence on Auburn's campus over the years. His interest in Auburn only grew when Hugh Freeze was hired and brought on Jeremy Garrett as his defensive line coach. Blocton was offered by Liberty and even visited a couple of years ago, and the relationship grew quickly and even stronger when they got to Auburn. "It’s been very beneficial because when Coach (Bryan) Harsin was at Auburn I never had a sitdown meeting with him. Coach Freeze made it a priority that he sat down and talked to me," Blocton said. "Me and Coach Garrett, we’ve been locked in and been knowing each other. I feel like he’s one of the best coaches in the country. He’s not one of those crazy coaches that’ll get all in your face do all that ra-ra stuff, he’s more of a laidback coach that’ll teach you the game and he really knows what he’s talking about." He had another connection to Auburn, too. The younger brother of Marcus Harris, he's spent the last two years watching him from the stands. Now he'll get the chance to take over for him in 2024. "Some people are going to think I’m making this decision based off him — it’s not based off him," Blocton said. "Because he’s going to be leaving, this is his last year, me and him will never play together. It’s just Auburn fits for me." The idea of carrying the torch is something that sticks out to Blocton, though. "That is kind of cool — he’s leaving and I’m coming in," Blocton said. Listed at a little over 6-foot-2 and 268 pounds, Blocton is expected to come in and play a versatile role all across the defensive line. He will take his Auburn official visit during the Iron Bowl for Harris' Senior Day. Becoming commitment No. 10, Blocton's message to the Auburn fans was clear: "Y’all are going to get all that I have," Blocton said. "Every day, every Saturday night, I’m going to give y’all everything because I know that y’all are going to do the same in return. Y’all going to be in the stands cheering for me, so I’m going to pay it back to you."

si.com Podcast ranks Payton Thorne No. 12 among SEC quarterbacks Lance Dawe 2–3 minutes Where should Payton Thorne rank heading into the fall? The assessment of Michigan State transfer quarterback Payton Thorne varies from outlet to outlet. Michael Bratton of That SEC Podcast recently released his 2023 SEC quarterback rankings, with Thorne near the bottom of the list at No. 12. Bratton doesn't think Thorne is a bad quarterback - but he's uncertain about how the Tigers' coaching staff is going to utilize him in a new offense. "It’s just so hard for me to peg what Auburn’s going to be with a new coaching staff, with essentially a new starting entire offense with all the transfers," Bratton said. "So I think he could be a really good player. I’m not saying you can’t win with Payton Thorne, I think you can." Bratton went on to say that Thorne reminds him of former SEC quarterback Bo Wallace, who beat Alabama under Hugh Freeze back in 2014. Thorne ranks 12th only above Vanderbilt's AJ Swann and Florida's Graham Mertz. Thorne finished an accomplished quarterback at Michigan State, setting single-season records for total yards, total touchdowns and passing touchdowns. He ranks fifth in career total touchdowns, fifth in career total yards, fourth in career passing touchdowns and third in single-season passing yards. He's not a dazzling arm talent but was excellent attacking downfield in his two seasons with the Spartans. He's a great system fit for Freeze and Montgomery. Related stories

si.com An updated look at Auburn football's 2024 recruiting class following Malik Blocton's commitment Lance Dawe 4–5 minutes The Tigers just added four-star defensive lineman Malik Blocton to their 2024 recruiting class. Here's an updated look at the class following his commitment: QB Walker White Walker White, a 6-foot-3, 215-pound signal-caller in the 2024 recruiting class, included Clemson and Baylor in his final three schools, but eventually chose the Tigers of Auburn over them both. White unofficially visited Auburn back on January 16th and chose to visit Clemson's junior day over Auburn's on the 28th. Over the course of his final two seasons at Little Rock Christian Academy in Little Rock, Arkansas, White threw for almost four thousand yards and 48 touchdowns. He also added 1,324 yards and 21 touchdowns (16 in his junior season) on the ground. LB Joseph Phillips The four-star totaled 82 total tackles, 19 tackles for loss, nine sacks, and two forced fumbles at Booker T Washington. He also has played tight end for the Golden Eagles, totaling 29 receptions, 336 receiving yards, and six touchdowns. RB J'Marion Burnette Burnette, a four-star running back out of Andalusia, had a stellar junior season for the Bulldogs. He totaled 1,473 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns. This follows a video game-like sophomore season in which he had 2,281 rushing yards to go along with 12 touchdowns. These stats combined with stellar camp workouts have made him a hot commodity in the 2024 recruiting cycle. He has offers from many of the top SEC schools like Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Arkansas. CB A'Mon Lane Lane, a 4-star, is listed at 5-foot-11 and 180-pounds. He's currently listed as the 4th best player in the state of Alabama in the 2024 class by 247Sports and the number 16th ranked cornerback in the country. CB Jayden Lewis Lewis comes in at 6'0 and a slight 175 pounds and is a rangy defensive back with insane speed. Alongside football, he also ran track during his high school career. S Kensley Faustin The 5-foot-11, 170-pound safety recorded 121 career tackles, 10 interceptions, 14 pass breakups, and five forced fumbles during his time at Naples high school. DL Malik Blocton Blocton, a four-star defensive lineman in the 2024 cycle, just wrapped up an official visit to Texas, but ended up choosing the Tigers just a couple of days later. Including Texas, Blocton held 11 offers from SEC schools, including Alabama. Other notable offers include USC, Oregon and Clemson. Through three seasons at Pike Road, Blocton has collected 109 total tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, and 8.0 sacks. In 2022 Blocton recorded 54 tackles and 6.0 sacks. LB D'Angelo Barber Barber who plays in the Birmingham area for the Clay-Chalkville Cougars has had a very solid high school career so far racking up 86 tackles, five tackles for loss, a sack, and an interception. Barber is a prospect on the rise after showing out during the winter camp circuit and is poised to have a breakout senior season for the Cougars. Barber, who has been offered by eight SEC schools, has most recently visited Auburn, he came in for a camp session on June 9th. WR Bryce Cain Cain possesses all the skills needed to be an elite wide receiver. He has a 40-yard dash time in the 4.4 range but also is an elite route runner and wins 50/50 balls. The three-star receiver had some excellent reps at Auburn's camp, catching passes from quarterback commit Walker White. TE Martavious Collins Collins, a four-star ATH who primarily plays TE, was committed to Alabama for over six months but in early February decided to decommit. Martavious has been very solid in his high school career and has shown that his four-star rating is not just a fluke and it is well deserved. He has totaled 597 receiving yards and three touchdowns. The most important part of his game will not show up on a stat sheet as he is one of the better blocking tight ends in the 2024 class.

247sports.com Ole Miss Schedule Notebook A trip to the Plains to face Auburn Jared Redding 8–10 minutes Some thought Lane Kiffin would be the head coach at Auburn this season. Instead, it's a former Ole Miss coach in Hugh Freeze. Let's take an early look into this matchup. If one were to look at this matchup a year ago, they'd probably see this as just another important SEC West matchup, should one of these two teams be in the running for a division crown as difficult as it would be. Fast forward to present day, and it's easy to foresee storylines at nauseam come October 21. Contrary to popular belief last fall, Ole Miss' head coach is still Lane Kiffin. After a month-long soap opera, Kiffin and Ole Miss came to an agreement and he got a raise out of the deal, making him one of the higher paid head coaches in college football. That said, Auburn did manage to get Hugh Freeze, a coach that got Ole Miss to compete at a high level until everything came crashing down in 2016 and 2017. Coming off a disastrous Bryan Harsin tenure, Freeze has seemingly given this program the shot in the arm it desperately needed. They've already sold out season tickets. While there will likely be some turbulence in year one (like Freeze's first year at Ole Miss), Auburn will likely be out of the SEC basement soon. However, that's all in the distant future. Let's take a look at this matchup in late October. Despite returning a pure athlete in Robby Ashford and a promising running back in Jarquez Hunter, offensive line might be a bit of a concern. There's not a lot of starts back from an offensive line that was already struggling mightily last year, and it was partly why Auburn's offense failed to produce more often than not. While there's not a lot of production back at receiver, there's plenty of size to go around. Defensively might be a bit of a different story, with a lot of experience back and Ron Roberts as the new DC. The secondary might be the best unit on the defense with guys like Zion Puckett, D.J. James, Keionte Scott and Nehemiah Pritchett. Ole Miss transfer Austin Keys could definitely make a difference on a front seven that has other newcomers in the form of transfers. Ole Miss has often struggled coming out of bye weeks and almost always struggled inside Jordan Hare Stadium. Auburn will be coming off a brutal three game stretch with Texas A&M, LSU and Georgia prior, so they'll be battle tested. That said, Auburn will have a lot of figure out as a program. Ole Miss will likely be in a similar situation when it comes to being battle tested, as we've already established. On the surface, if Auburn stops Quinshon Judkins and the run (unlike last year), this could potentially be a low-scoring game. Expectations favor Ole Miss as does the talent in areas, but the Plains hasn't been kind to them in almost a decade. Let's let the games be played first before making any more assumptions. The Rebels will begin its 2023 campaign inside Vaught-Hemingway Stadium against Mercer. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. CT and can be seen on SECN+/ESPN+ or listened to on the Ole Miss Radio Network. Inside the Rebels will be on site to provide updates, notes, facts, observations and more. Kiffin and select players will be available on the final day of 2023 SEC Media Days, taking the stage Thursday, July 20 in Nashville. Inside the Rebels will be on site there as well, with David Johnson, Jared Redding and Tyler Komis providing wall-to-wall coverage. Position Preview: Rebels' 2023 TE unit looking as exciting as ever During the course of the 2022 season the tight end position might have been the most frustrating unit for the Ole Miss Rebels. Going into that season, head coach Lane Kiffin During the course of the 2022 season the tight end position might have been the most frustrating unit for the Ole Miss Rebels. Going into that season, head coach Lane Kiffin gained the commitment of the No.1 transfer tight end by the industry-generated 247Sports Composite index in Michael Trigg with a package deal including then USC teammate Jaxson Dart. It was thought to be a massive get for Ole Miss, it was and the potential remains endless, but it just didn’t show on the field last season. The main issue stemming from Trigg not seeing the field enough, especially once SEC play rolled around after four games for various reasons. The Tampa (Fla.) native ended his first season at Ole Miss with just 17 catches for 156 yards along with three scores in just six games played. However, he can’t be the only one responsible for the position being a disappointment because the Rebels had another veteran in the position room with then junior Casey Kelly. Kelly’s 2022 campaign didn’t go as planned, recording career lows in catches (3) and receiving yards (17) along with one touchdown. Michael Trigg looks a ball in during a recent Ole Miss practice. (Photo: OMA) The position unit was simply one of the most unreliable and hampered Ole Miss’ offense down the stretch of the season. Some games there would be no tight end at all, this year’s Egg Bowl comes to mind specifically, and it certainly contributed to their offensive woes. However, this year will be different and you can pretty much bank on it. A recap of the Rebels' noteworthy offseason transactions within their tight end room… Subtractions - Casey Kelly (Oregon) - Jonathan Hess (Graduate/current recruiting assistant) - Trace Campbell (UAB) Additions - Senior Caden Prieskorn (Memphis) - Freshman Jayvontay Conner - Freshman Wyatt Smalley Notable returners - Junior Michael Trigg - Sophomore Kyirin Heath - Sophomore Hudson Wolfe - Junior Salathiel Hempfill Caden Prieskorn (Photo: Ole Miss Athletics ) As alluded to above, heading into the 2023 season the Rebels look much more equipped to handle almost any situation with a deeper group. One of Ole Miss’ biggest splash plays of the offseason came when they added Memphis transfer Caden Prieskorn. The 6-foot-5, 255-pounder is rated as the No.5 tight end and No.47 overall player in the 2023 transfer cycle by the 247Sports industry generated Composite Index. Almost like the quarterback situation, Prieskorn’s presence will probably push Trigg and the rest of the group to be the best they can. Expect Trigg to have a much improved season than a year ago, and finally evolve into the consistent matchup nightmare Kiffin and the offense envisioned from him in 2022. Even though two tight ends can be on the field more traditionally than quarterbacks, Lane Kiffin and Charlie Weis Jr. will likely run packages as such. I digress, Prieskorn isn’t the only notable addition to the room. True-freshman Jayvontay Conner had his options of schools to choose from, five offers coming from the SEC, and he chose the Rebels above all else. The 6-foot-4 North Carolina native was an early enrollee this past spring and was rather impressive. He’s listed at 230 pounds on his 247Sports profile (220 on Ole Miss’ website), but he certainly looked bigger than that during the spring and summer. For what it’s worth, the Rebels will miss Kelly’s blocking a bit, but Conner looks like a player that could replicate production on that end sooner rather than later. Jayvontay Conner ready to make a catch during spring ball (Photo: Ole Miss Athletics ) Heath and Wolfe seem like they’re on the outside looking in at the moment within the group. Wolfe’s health remains a question, but he’s sticking it out so there’s always a chance so long as he’s enrolled. Heath on the other hand did see limited action on the field last season, and possesses the physical tools to get more reps, but we’ll see how these guys look this upcoming fall camp. With the 2022 campaign put to rest with an 8-5 record, the Rebels look to turn the page for the 2023 season inside Vaught-Hemingway Stadium against Mercer Sept.2. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. CT and can be seen on SECN+/ESPN+ or listened to on the Ole Miss Radio Network. Inside the Rebels will be on site to provide updates, notes, facts, observations and more. Head coach Lane Kiffin and select players will be available on the final day of 2023 SEC Media Days, taking the stage Thursday, July 20 in Nashville, Tenn.

i agree with this. you raise YOUR kids the way you want and give others the sane courtesy which many of you will not. that is the way this works. mickey as for you buster those nazi guys wear special patches that proclaim them a murder unit. they call them the right wing death squad patch and wear those patches freely. sorry i am not buying it. and look kansas you keep telling me what i posted and how wrong it is and it is beginning to get old. i like you but i google a lot of these magas's and right wingers that want to overthrow the country because they think libs are commies. i will not allow exteremists to run saying and doing what ever they want. you guys are worried about a man wanting to wear a dress when trump and many of his followers would allow trump to take over this country. they already rose up. i am sick of it. trump is a thug and no one will admit what trump is i have seen but salty and iam. the rest cray when i mention trump but it is a political board and he remains in the headlines and is more than fair game. if people were not enabling him there would be very little to see. i do not tell anyone what to think. no one. but i do tell you if it is stupid as hell. and we let stupid run rampant in this country anymore. the right wants you to fit in a nice neat little box they THEY want. and again kansas a lot of my comments are throwing it right back in the face of many that have done it to me for years. so some of it is personal.

247sports.com College footballs most improved teams Nebraska Miami among 2023 breakout candidates Carter Bahns 8–10 minutes These teams could take major steps forward. Success in college football is not always linear. Even the most successful programs experience steps backward on their path to prominence, and teams such as Oklahoma and Miami proved so during the 2022 season. Climbing out of a backslide or taking the next step in building a championship contender is never easy, but every year, multiple teams make major leaps in their development. In today’s era, the transfer portal allows programs to accelerate this process. New coaching hires typically attract waves of incoming talent, and existing coaches often use the portal to prompt instant improvement in areas of need. An influx of high-end talent or a coaching transition are often the biggest catalysts of positive change. More than a handful of programs followed the aforementioned model this offseason and have some of the pieces necessary to significantly improve upon their 2022 win total. While no team is ever guaranteed to take a step forward, some candidates to do so are more obvious than others. Get offseason and recruiting information on your favorite college team for $1 for first month. Here are the 10 college football teams poised to take the biggest steps forward during the 2023 season. 10. ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS KJ Jefferson (Photo: Nelson Chenault, USA TODAY Sports) Arkansas is likely to score in bunches, but its ability to improve upon a 7-6 campaign hinges on the defense. KJ Jefferson is among the SEC’s most talented quarterbacks, and he hands the ball off to one of college football’s most explosive players in running back Raheim Sanders. That duo can’t win games alone, though, and in order for the Razorbacks to get back to the level of play that saw them win nine games two years ago, they have to avoid shootouts. They bring in a pair of new co-coordinators and numerous transfers, generating some optimism on the defensive side of the ball. ‌ 9. NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS Matt Rhule and Jeff Sims (Photo: Michael Bruntz, Getty) Many tried to awaken this sleeping college football titan, but Matt Rhule may be the one to actually deliver results. After successfully building Temple and Baylor from rubble into conference title contenders, he is qualified to attempt to do the same at Nebraska. If it does, in fact, come to fruition, the rebuild will take more than just one year, but transfer portal additions like former Georgia Tech quarterback Jeff Sims should help him get the ball rolling early in his tenure. If his blueprint works in Lincoln, Rhule could have the Huskers back to prominence within three years. ‌ 8. AUBURN TIGERS Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze (Photo: Jake Crandall, USA TODAY Sports) Auburn needed to hit a home run with its hire after the Bryan Harsin era crashed and burned before it even got off the ground, and the Tigers may have hit it out of the park with Hugh Freeze. It seemed like only a matter of time until Freeze got another shot at the Power Five level after leading Liberty to four consecutive winning seasons, and he already has Auburn trending in the right direction after compiling the No. 4 transfer class in the nation. The Tigers are at risk of missing the postseason for the second year in a row, but their climb back to SEC West relevance may not take long. ‌ 7. COLORADO BUFFALOES Deion Sanders (Photo: CU Athletics) Colorado might be the most difficult team to project given that half of its roster is entirely new and its head coach — albeit successful at Jackson State — remains untested at the FBS level. The highest-upside outcome is that the Buffaloes go from ranking as one of the worst teams in the country to reaching bowl eligibility in the span of a year, but the more likely result is a bottom-half finish in the Pac-12 with a handful of competitive losses. Deion Sanders made a statement when he put together the highest-ranked transfer class in the country, and while that talent upgrade will undoubtedly bring more success, this rebuild will take more than just one offseason to complete. ‌ 6. IOWA STATE CYCLONES Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell (Photo: Bryon Houlgrave/The Register, USA TODAY Sports) Considering that Matt Campbell guided Iowa State to five of its best seasons of all-time in consecutive years before taking a step backward last fall, he deserves the benefit of the doubt. A closer look at the Cyclones’ 4-8 campaign reveals that seven of those losses came by single-digits and six finished as one-score games. With better execution and luck in 2023, there is no reason why Iowa State should not be able to return to bowl eligibility, especially given that its defense should again be among the best units in the Big 12. ‌ 5. TEXAS LONGHORNS Quinn Ewers (Photo: Kevin Jairaj, USA TODAY Sports) The “Is Texas back?” storyline is exhausted by now, but 2023 appears to be the year in which the Longhorns finally have what it takes to compete at the highest level again. Talent has never been the issue, of course, but it is an even greater strength this year as a healthy Quinn Ewers could easily prove to be one of the best quarterbacks in the Big 12, if not the country. The pressure to return to championship contention is at an all-time high with Texas set to move to the SEC next year. Can Steve Sarkisian handle it? ‌ 4. OKLAHOMA SOONERS Brent Venables (Photo: Brian Bahr, Getty) It is entirely possible that Brent Venables is not up to the task and that his tenure as Oklahoma’s head coach goes down as a disappointment. At the same time, it is true that one year is far too small a sample size to judge his leadership abilities. Yes, the Sooners are coming off their worst season in 25 years, but with each of their final four losses coming by exactly three points, they were well within striking distance of tacking on a few more victories. If those close games break their way in 2023, Venables’ first year at the helm will look like nothing but a blip on the radar. ‌ 3. WISCONSIN BADGERS Wisconsin head coach Luke Fickell (Photo: Brad Fedie, 247Sports) Wisconsin made the most impactful head coaching hire of the college football offseason in handing Luke Fickell the first Power Five gig of his career. He remains the only coach to lead a Group of Five program to the Playoff during a 57-18 stint at Cincinnati and now inherits a Wisconsin team with even greater resources and tradition. Fickell also built an all-star staff around him which includes offensive coordinator Phil Longo, who designed one of the nation’s most prolific groups last year at North Carolina. Pair this staff with a capable roster, and the Badgers have the potential to compete for Big Ten titles on an annual basis. ‌ 2. MIAMI HURRICANES Miami head coach Mario Cristobal (Photo: Miami athletics) Maybe it was unfair to expect Miami to make huge strides in just one year under Mario Cristobal, but a team with as much talent as the Hurricanes should not have missed the postseason, let alone lost five games by double digits — including a 14-point defeat at home by Middle Tennessee. With Miami continuing to recruit at a high level and add even more high-end talent via the transfer portal, there is no excuse for a second-straight disappointing year. Hiring Shannon Dawson and Lance Guidry to revitalize the offense and defense, respectively, could help the Hurricanes make the most of their impressive roster. ‌ 1. TEXAS A&M AGGIES Jimbo Fisher (Photo: Jerome Miron, USA TODAY Sports) No team has a better recipe for a breakthrough year than Texas A&M, which boasts a No. 4 ranking in the 2023 Blue-Chip Ratio after compiling consecutive highly-ranked recruiting classes and which hired one of the game’s most established offensive minds in Bobby Petrino this offseason. The offense, which scored just 22.8 points per game, was the Aggies’ biggest problem last year and held them out of bowl eligibility despite entering the campaign with College Football Playoff aspirations. Jimbo Fisher proved in year five of his tenure that the floor is a losing season, but Texas A&M has a wide range of possible outcomes in 2023 that includes SEC title contention.

auburntigers.com On The Plains with Garrison Walker: ‘Make the most of every opportunity’ Auburn University Athletics 5–6 minutes AUBURN, Ala. – Garrison Walker grew up in northeastern Georgia in the town of Toccoa, one hour from Athens, but Auburn has been on his mind for a long time. His father, Gary Walker Sr., played at Auburn as a defensive end from 1993-94 before his 11-year NFL career. His older brother, Gary Jr., played defensive line for the Tigers from 2016-19. Between hearing stories from his father and his brother on their playing days, Walker wanted to make his mark at a place very familiar to his family. After beginning his college career at Reinhardt University, an NAIA school, Walker transferred to Auburn in the summer of 2021. At the time, his older brother was a defensive graduate assistant for the football team and helped Garrison make the transition. “My brother, especially, helped me a lot because that whole summer it was just me and him,” Walker said. “We just hung out, and he got me settled in.” To Walker, having his older brother as part of the team’s support staff was extra motivation. He knew he would have to prove himself each and every day to gain the respect of his teammates and to his brother. Through that hard work, he became a great teammate, friend and player. “I took that and I told myself, ‘I'm going to prove myself,’” Walker said. “As soon as I showed that attitude, everybody loved me because they knew I was passionate about football. They found out I was passionate about everything that I did.” Walker’s passion was evident on and off the field. However, transferring from playing at a smaller school to the high-intensity atmosphere of Auburn was no easy task. He will never forget the emotions he felt going into his first couple games at Jordan-Hare Stadium. “I've never played in such an atmosphere,” he said. “You come here, and it's nearly 90,000 people watching you play, plus all the people watching on TV. It was a lot of pressure, but I loved it.” Walker has come a long way since that first year at Auburn in 2021 and has made significant strides not only on the football field but also in his studies. Since transferring, he has twice been a member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll while studying in the College of Liberal Arts. “I kept my academics in line, so I can play at the utmost performance level in football,” Walker added. “You have to like being busy. You have school and football – you have to be able to do both.” Looking ahead to the upcoming 2023 season, Walker is optimistic and looking forward to suiting up in the orange and blue. His goals for himself and the team have him excited for August to come and for the season to start. “My personal goal is to just to play my best ball,” he said. “I just want to make the most out of every opportunity that I get because that can lead to more opportunities. For the team, I want to be the best teammate possible.” Over the years, Walker has many teammates that he’s bonded with and many more he considers close friends. It’s part of what makes playing football special – having those teammates you can talk to on a regular basis off the field and in life. In addition to his teammates, Walker is grateful for his fans and coaches. He’s grateful for the entire experience he’s enjoyed at Auburn. “I feel like I have everybody's hands on my shoulders, everybody believing in me,” Walker said. “And even if they don't know me, they hope, they cheer for me, and they will get to know me. ‘War Eagle’ means pride – having pride in what you came from. And Auburn has brought me connections.” After the season, Walker plans on completing his master’s degree in education. Beyond that, he’s split between wanting to teach at the college level or becoming a motivational coach where he could visit teams and schools and motivate them. For now, Walker is focused on finishing strong and making the Auburn Family proud. “Thank you for everything,” he tells the fans. “Thank you for every game that you came to and cheered us on. Even when the result isn't what we wanted, you're still there to support us. It has always meant a lot to me. War Eagle!” Connor Richardson is a student assistant in Auburn Athletics Communications

247sports.com Most Valuable Tigers No 12 Nathan King 4–5 minutes We're still in the heart of the college football offseason: three months removed from spring practice, media day later this month, and under two months until the start of the 2023 season, Auburn’s first under Hugh Freeze. So what better time to crank up the rankings? As we do annually this time of year, Auburn Undercover is counting down the top 25 most valuable players for the Tigers' 2023 season. A few notes to set the table: These rankings are based on a player's previous contributions to the team, as well as his assumed impact in 2023 — how important he is expected to be to Auburn's success in both production and the win-loss column. It is not simply Auburn's best players in descending order. If a freshman is included on the list, his positioning is obviously a projection of his talent and significance to his respective position group. Next up is No. 12: FIU tight end transfer Rivaldo Fairweather. AS A RECRUIT Hometown: Fort Lauderdale, Florida Class: 2020 247Sports Composite ranking: No. 119 TE, No. 2,552 overall (3-star) AS A PLAYER (Austin Perryman / Auburn Athletics) With a role that slowly increased over the course of three seasons at FIU, Fairweather developed into an all-conference tight end in 2022. Under new position coach Ben Aigamaua, who comes over from Liberty after spending all four seasons under Freeze there, Fairweather brings strong production to one of the most experienced units on Auburn’s roster. In three seasons at FIU, Fairweather caught 54 passes for 838 yards and five touchdowns. He’s coming off his best season in which he racked up 426 yards and three touchdowns. Rated as the No. 8 tight end in the transfer portal by 247Sports, Fairweather was the first transfer pickup by Freeze and his new staff in mid December. 2023 OUTLOOK Fairweather is replacing one of the most productive tight ends in program history, John Samuel Shenker, after six years on the Plains. He’s flanked by arguably the most veteran position group on the roster that also includes seniors Luke Deal and Tyler Fromm. But while Fromm and Deal are plenty experienced, they don’t have the same sort of high-end athleticism that Fairweather brings to the passing game at 6-foot-4 and 251 pounds. Freeze has a history of utilizing hybrid, big-bodied targets in the passing game, which Fairweather seems to fit the mold of. Most recently at Liberty, Johnny Huntley, who began his career as a wide receiver at Colorado, caught seven touchdowns across three seasons. Then there’s the prime example of a player like Evan Engram, a first-round draft pick, under Freeze at Ole Miss. As Auburn builds its new offense — with a new staff, a new-look offensive line and maybe a new starting QB in Payton Thorne — a big, reliable and experienced target should be crucial for the Tigers’ success. And Freeze did call Fairweather the most reliable pass-catcher on the team during spring practice, regardless of position. WHAT THEY SAID “I'd say I bring athletic, playmaker, team player, someone that just wants to win no matter what it takes, even if it's just I'm blocking all game, I'll do that. Or if they want to put me out there and catch passes, that's what I'm good at. Just being a team player and someone that wants to win, wants to flip the script at Auburn.” — Fairweather WHAT SAY YOU? What do you think of Fairweather’s spot in our Most Valuable Tigers rankings? Too high? Too low? Just right? Share your thoughts on the Bodda Getta message board, on Twitter or on Facebook.

auburnwire.usatoday.com Auburn having one of the toughest schedules is nothing new and is once again the case in 2023 Daniel Locke ~2 minutes If Hugh Freeze knew one thing when accepting the Auburn job, it is that he would be coaching a team through one of the toughest schedules in all of college football every season. Kelley Ford ranked college football team’s schedules by how many wins an average top-25 team would be expected to win if playing it. Sure enough, Auburn placed highly, more specifically second place behind Florida. Buy Tigers Tickets An average top-25 team would be expected to win 7.99 games if playing Auburn’s schedule. Florida’s rating is 7.69. Ole Miss is tied with Auburn and South Carolina and Alabama round out the top five. Several of the headliners that make their way onto Auburn’s schedule are annual foes Alabama, Georgia, and LSU. An up-and-coming program in Ole Miss also appears, as well as the Arkansas Razorbacks, which features a stellar QB/RB combo in KJ Jefferson and Rocket Sanders. The entire SEC with the exception of Georgia is on the list which speaks volumes about just how tough it is to play in the SEC. No team has a more difficult schedule in 2023 than the Gators! The average top 25 team would be expected to win only 7.69 games vs Florida’s schedule The SEC has 13 of the 16 most difficult schedules and the entire SEC West is in the top 14 most difficult schedules in the nation pic.twitter.com/FrEMMBdtxp — Kelley Ford (@KFordRatings) July 6, 2023 Contact/Follow us @TheAuburnWire on Twitter, and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Auburn news, notes, and opinion.

DJ Barber is a great addition to the Auburn 2024 class DJ Barber is a great addition to the Auburn 2024 class Who could be the next commitment in Auburns 2024 recruiting class These five prospects look poised to make their final decisions, which look to be in favor of the Tigers. Jack Singley 21 hours ago In this story: Auburn Tigers Auburn has nine commitments so far in the 2024 class, which is the least amount for any team in the SEC. The quantity may not be there but the quality is as they have the 11th-highest average prospect rating in the country. The months of July and August look to be a time for Auburn to add even more quality while catching up with the rest of the SEC in the number of recruits. Adding the following players would total 14 prospects and bring the class average to 92.17, which would be good for fifth in the country behind Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Ohio State. Malik Blocton is the first of these five, and Auburn fans shouldn't have to wait long to see if the Pike Road star will choose to stay in-state. July 8th is Bloctons decision date and it's down to two SEC schools, at least Texas will be by Bloctons freshman season. Texas and Auburn are the final two for the six-foot-three 268-pounder. The visits seem to point to the Tigers, and with his brother Marcus Harris being a star on the plains many view him to follow in his footsteps. The offensive line recruiting has been quiet as OL Coach Jake Thornton has yet to land a commit so far in this cycle, but that all could change with the addition of a west coast talent. Deandre Carter, a six-foot-five 340-pound offensive tackle from Mater Dei is an unlikely recruit for Auburn to be involved with as the Tigers have not gotten a recruit out of high school in California in recent memory. Carter was once seen as a USC lock but following an offer and an official visit OL Coach Jake Thornton and TE Coach Ben Aigamaua have gotten Carter to be what many view as an Auburn lean. The consensus top player on the Auburn board, Perry Thompson, has been trending to the Tigers recently and it would be a historic pickup if he was signed. Could the "Next Julio Jones" shock the world and flip to Auburn? That is for Thompson to decide, however, from an outside viewpoint, the Tigers seem to be in a good position. Thompson, who stands at six-foot-three and weighs in at 205 pounds has been to Auburn five times according to 247 Sports, while only going to Alabama twice. The visits, plus a large push from Hugh Freeze and WR Coach Marcus Davis put Auburn in a good position for what could be the first five-star wide receiver to commit to Auburn since Ben Obomanu in 2002. The defensive back class is strong and hopefully will keep getting stronger, as Zac Etheridge and Wesley McGriff have made Jalyn Crawford one of their biggest priorities. Crawford, who is from Parkview, Georgia which is located just east of Atlanta has become the top priority for the cornerback position in this class. At six-foot even and 180 pounds, Crawford would be the largest DB commit to date. Florida and LSU were seen as the teams to beat at different points, LSU seemed like they were going to lock his services up in late winter and early spring until the Gators came along in the early part of the summer. Auburn has been quiet yet the most consistent in the recruitment of the four-star. The final player here is yet another five-star and flip candidate. Georgia's five-star LB commit Demarcus Riddick. The signs have been pointing away from UGA since mid-spring and it has become apparent that his final decision will be to stay in-state, which team is where that question becomes a little more complicated. Riddick, like Thompson, has been to Auburn more than Alabama but the displays that the Crimson Tide put on for Riddick on A-day and his official visit could be tough to beat. A decision will come on his mother's birthday on July 26th, and right now the momentum seems to be dead even between the Tide and Tigers. Summertime recruiting can not be mistaken for signing day, but with these upcoming seniors deciding to shut it down before their final year of high school ball there should be some confidence in these decisions. As of today, there are 166 days and an entire football season to play before they sign the dotted line and their decisions may change, a good season could affirm their faith and bolster this class further, but a bad season could spell disaster. Time will tell, but for now Auburn is looking strong during Head Coach Hugh Freeze's first full recruiting cycle.

auburnwire.usatoday.com Auburn Tigers Snapshot Profile: No. 14 Jyaire Shorter JD McCarthy 5–6 minutes Going into the 2023 football season, Auburn Wire will be looking at each scholarship player listed on the Tigers’ roster. Over the preseason, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for Hugh Freeze in his first season on the Plains. Buy Tigers Tickets Up next is transfer wide receiver Jyaire Shorter. He has been one of the most explosive receivers in college football during his career and is looking to do it at the highest level in his final season.

He has the ability to take the top off the defense and that is something that Auburn has been sorely lacking over the past few seasons. He has shown a knack for finding the endzone as well, with 34.5% of his catches going for touchdowns. He is battling Koy Moore to be the starting wide receiver-Z. Moore is a returning contributor and has multiple years of SEC experience so I expect him to win the job to start but both players will have key roles and Shorter’s explosiveness will be too important and he will take over as the starter during the season.

thestreet.com Kid Rock Has an Astounding Change of Heart After His Viral Bud Light Meltdown Jena Greene ~3 minutes The pop star and rocker implemented a shakeup in his Nashville bar. Pop star and outspoken culture critic Kid Rock has never shied away from some good old-fashioned identity politics. And since Bud Light has been the most recent lightning rod in the debate over woke corporate policies, Kid Rock has naturally placed himself firmly at the center of it. DON'T MISS: Target Makes a Bold Move That Has Conservatives Angry and Calling for Boycott Earlier this summer, Bud Light, owned by parent company Anheuser-Busch (BUDFF ) sparked outrage when it voiced support for the LGBTQ+ community. Some of its core and loyal consumers, namely a right-leaning crowd, then loudly called to boycott the brand in what is now being called an "anti-woke" move. Kid Rock promptly posted himself firing a gun at a collection of Bud Light cans on Twitter. "Grandpa's feeling a little frisky today. Let me say something to all you and be as clear and concise as possible: f*** Bud light. And f*** Anheuser-Busch," he says after unloading on multiple racks of the beer. "Have a terrific day." Kid Rock Walks Back Bud Light Stance? Except now, some eagle-eyed patrons at Kid Rock's Nashville bar have spotted the iconic blue bottles still being served -- despite Kid Rock's strident stance against the beer company. "@KidRock nice that you shot up the bud light... but its still in your bar. Haha," one Twitter user wrote along with a photo of the bar's menu with Bud Light still on offer. The tweet also included a photo of a Bud Light bottle being consumed at a bar top table. "We're visiting Nashville and YES you can buy Bud Light at Kid Rock's bar," another wrote. Kid Rock's stance on Bud Light made shockwaves through the music and entertainment community. "Once Kid Rock shoots your cans, you got real problems," comedian Joe Rogan said on his podcast earlier in July. "Who controls Bud Light?" rapper Ice Cube asked, later questioning, "Why would they make a dumb decision like that? Why would they try to ruin Bud Light? Are they trying to take down iconic American brands?" on the same podcast episode. "You gotta ask why," Ice Cube said. "You think it's a conspiracy?" Rogan asked. "A bunch of middle class guys are paying the price," Ice Cube said of the boycott. "You got distribution centers, the guys that deliver the beer nobody wants, and now they're out of a job. You're really attacking the middle class by making a brand that's so big take a hit like that."

yahoo.com Phil Steele expects Auburn to be an improved program in 2023 Taylor Jones ~3 minutes The 2022 football season was shaping up to be one of the most disappointing at Auburn in recent memory. However, interim head coach Cadillac Williams led the Tigers to a 2-2 final record, which put Auburn within one game of bowl eligibility despite the low points. Hugh Freeze has taken over the program and has brought momentum into the program by bringing in talented high school talent, as well as useful products from the transfer portal to fill positional needs. Based on fresh faces alone, how many wins will that translate to? One college football expert weighs in. Phil Steele, the publisher of the annual Phil Steele College Football Preview magazine, was a guest on the Josh and Swain Show on 99.1 The Sports Animal in Knoxville on Monday. Steele discussed many topics, including his take on the Auburn Tigers ahead of the 2023 season. Steele says that he is impressed with the talent that Freeze has brought in, but is not ready to say that Auburn will be an SEC West contender right away. “He’s got 17 starters returning and he’s brought in some good transfers as well. So I think the talent’s there at Auburn, but I don’t think the talent’s there for them to get back to being an SEC West contender this year. I think they can get back to a bowl game and definitely improve upon the 5-7 record last year. Probably get to like 7, perhaps 8 as a top end for them. A better season at Auburn, but not quite up to the fact of playing with your Alabamas and LSUs and, as I mentioned, Texas A&M.” Auburn won just two games against SEC foes last season and will face a schedule this season that is favorable for bowl eligibility. The Tigers will face the usual suspects such as Alabama, LSU, and Georgia, but will also have several games against “swing opponents” like Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, and Ole Miss. This season’s Power Five nonconference opponent is Cal, which is a more favorable draw from the home-and-home series with Penn State over the last two seasons, which gives Auburn a great shot to finish 4-0 against the nonconference schedule.

Open in app or online hey media, what the **** are you doing normalizing nazi moms and fascist judges one week, two atrocities Jeff Tiedrich Jul 6 Share credit: Alex Nabaum, The New Republic two things happened in the media recently that have me once again gluing together all the pieces of my exploded head. Upgrade to paid the first atrocity had to do with the Moms for Liberty. you know these shitheads — they’re that bunch of far-right extremist book-banning transphobic busybodies who put an actual goddamned Adolf Hitler quote into the top of one of their newsletters and then wondered what all the fuss was about when decent people pitched them a well-earned s***-fit. what the hell, moms? this is all pretty newsworthy stuff, and so naturally the press started paying attention to these fascist moms. ABC News got into the act. I hope you’re sitting down right now, because here’s their tweet promoting their coverage. oh my god. oh my ******* god. “joyful warriors.” what — not to put too fine a point on it — IN ACTUAL ****? the article itself was just as bad. got that? just some perfectly normal concerned moms, out doing perfectly normal concerned moms things, nothing to see here, let’s all move on. oh, by the way, what are they mad about? is it after-school hockey practice? no, they’re mad about the usual extremist bull****: drag performers, trans people, and, as always, woke. woke is a noun now, by the way. the article eventually gets around to mentioning this, but in passing, as if it were the least-important thing that anyone needs to know about these Hitler Fans for Liberty. come on, ABC. this type of reporting would be bad enough if it were from an understaffed and underfunded community newspaper, but for ****’s sake, you’re ABC News. you’re our national media. we depend on you to keep us informed, not to print verbatim from whatever press release these Libety Dipshits sent you. the second atrocity happened yesterday afternoon, as I was driving down to Mt. Kisco (name-checked as fanservice to my Westchester County readers. hi there!) to run some errands. I had the radio tuned to WNYC, the New York City public station, and I didn’t catch the name of the woman who was being interviewed about the Supreme Court, but she said I didn’t hear what she said after that because I reflexively stabbed the off button so hard that I sprained my index finger. NPR, ladies and gentlemen, your so-called liberal media. media, what in god’s own actual **** are we doing here? America is sliding ever-rapidly towards authoritarianism. we’re about to hit a tipping point from which there will be no return. you can’t be out here tippy-toeing around extremist activities, and both-sides-ing judicial malpractice. do some reading about what happens to your beloved freedom of the press under fascist regimes. believe me, you don’t want to go there. do you really imagine that the leopards are never going to eat your face? wake the **** up. do better. for your own good, if not for ours. everyone is entitled to my own opinion is a reader-supported publication.
