  3. Auburn is 'high on the list' for in-state safety Red Morgan JD McCarthy ~2 minutes Auburn hosted a talented group of local prospects Thursday in safety Red Morgan, five-star wide receiver Cam Coleman, offensive lineman Mal Waldrep and wide receiver Daylyn Upshaw. All four play for nearby Central-Phienix City and have Auburn offers. The group was hosted by Auburn wide receivers coach Marcus Davis and while he plays on the opposite side of the ball, Morgan enjoyed his time with Davis. Buy Tigers Tickets “It feels like home,” he told Auburn Live’s Jeffrey Lee of the campus. “It does. The coaches, how they treat us, they feel like father figures. Coach Davis, he’s not even my position coach, but the relationship we have … I mess with Coach Davis.” It was Morgan’s second visit under the new staff and it made quite the impression on the 6-foot, 175-pounder. “They’re high on the list,” he added. Morgan is the No. 499 overall player and No. 49 safety in the 247Sports Composite ranking. He is also the No. 27 player in Alabama. Morgan is planning to return to Auburn for an official visit sometime in June before announcing his commitment either during the summer or early in the fall. He already has official visits scheduled with Michigan State (June 2), Cincinnati (June 9) and Miami (June 30). The Tigers have already landed four-star cornerbacks A'mon Lane and Jayden Lewis in the 2024 recruiting cycle but are still looking for their first commit at safety.

  4. yardbarker.com Takeaways: Auburn sweeps doubleheader over Missouri securing fifth straight SEC series victory Andrew Stefaniak ~3 minutes Auburn swept the twin bill against the Missouri Tigers, winning game one 4-0 and game two 7-2. Auburn pitching was dominant in these two ball games, only allowing nine hits in two ball games to a Missouri team that has been hitting the ball well of late. This Auburn team is on an absolute tear putting themselves in great position for post-season seeding. What can we take away from this doubleheader sweep of Missouri? Chase Allsup SHOVED Take a bow, Chase Allsup! The sophomore righty flame thrower was on in game one going a career-high seven innings and striking out a career-high seven Missouri hitters. Allsup had the off-speed and heater mix working well, leading to his success in this ball game. He picked up his first win of the season after a dominant performance on the bump. Allsup has always had the stuff he just had to put it together, and just that happened in this ball game. If Allsup can continue this the rest of the season, this team will make a deep run. Auburn hit five long balls Auburn hit five homers over the course of these two ball games, which is a lot for a team not known for hitting a ton of bombs. Ware hit two homers, one in each game. Ike Irish hit one in game one. Cooper McMurray and Cole Foster both hit one in game two, giving the Tigers five long balls on the day. On a day where the bats didn't rack up all that many hits, five homers go a long way. Auburn would have won both games if you just counted the runs scored off homers. Good job by the offense, just doing enough on a day where they didn't put up a ton of hits and the pitchers were on fire. Konner Copeland was outstanding Konner Copeland went 5.1 innings, only allowing one run, and the run came after he had left the ball game. The lefty struck out five in this outing and picked up his fourth win of the season. Copeland is pitching really well, and that will help the Tigers down the stretch. The Auburn starters went 12.1 innings of one-run six-hit baseball. Standing ovations are in order for Allsup and Copeland. Watch out for the Auburn Tigers, as postseason baseball is coming up soon. Whats next? Auburn will go for the sweep of Missouri at 1 pm ct. This game can be found on ESPN+, and we will have all the coverage you could ever need right here at Auburn Daily.
  5. Auburn football HC Hugh Freeze confident that Tigers improved roster Mary Kate Hughes 4–5 minutes Auburn football Mandatory Credit; The Montgomery Advertiser Auburn football head coach Hugh Freeze knew there was a lot to be done to elevate the program when he took the job, but the priority objective for the coaching staff was improving the roster. The staff began with solidifying the 2023 class before moving on to search for transfers and laying the foundations for the important classes of 2024 and 2025. When it comes to adding transfers, Freeze has consistently maintained that the staff is open to any transfers that will fit the culture on the Plains and improve the roster, and that he knew they would be leaning heavily on the portal in his first year. With 18 transfers incoming, have they accomplished that goal? According to Freeze, it’s too early to tell if the Tigers are going to start winning games like crazy and close the gap between Auburn football, Alabama, and Georgia in year one, but he does believe that the roster has been improved, per Auburn Live: “I know there’s a lot of excitement right now with what we’ve done recruiting and I’m thrilled for that. I’m excited, but it’s too early to tell how much have we closed the gap on the ones we have to close the gap on? How much? I don’t think we’ll know until we play some games. The one thing I’m confident on is we’ve improved our roster.” Freeze has also made it clear that players coming to Auburn football should expect to compete, especially when it comes to the quarterback position. The head coach said that it should be expected that there will be no fewer than 4 QBs on the roster competing to be QB1, and the same mentality is applied to the rest of the position groups, as well. Whether or not the Tigers make the leap this season is still up for debate, but Freeze and the staff are clearly laying strong foundations for the future. Auburn football Oct 9, 2021; Columbia, Missouri, USA; Missouri Tigers running back Tyler Badie (1) runs the ball and is tackled by North Texas Mean Green linebacker Larry Nixon III (30) during the game at Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports Hugh Freeze: Recent Auburn transfer could be immediate starter The Auburn football coaching staff has been working hard to bring extra talent and depth to the roster by way of the NCAA transfer portal. They started off strong during the winter portal window, adding 12 impact transfers, and have already gotten six transfers from the spring window. While the headliner of the group is certainly former Michigan State quarterback Payton Thorne and the big story is the amount of wide receivers joining the team, head coach Hugh Freeze believes there is one defensive transfer that could come in strong and make an instant impact for the Tigers. Former North Texas linebacker Larry Nixon III is the most recent transfer to commit to Auburn football, and is bringing five years of experience with him from his time with the Mean Green. In 2022, Nixon III totaled 105 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and one sack. After losing Owen Pappoe to the NFL, Auburn football had big shoes to fill in the linebacker room and brought in three LB transfers in the offseason—Austin Keys, DeMario Tolan, and now Nixon III. As he’s joining a position group that is somewhat unproven ahead of 2023, Freeze believes that Nixon III could be in the starting rotation this fall, per Auburn Undercover: “Just his passion — the way he ran to the football and the way he’s a solid tackler,” Freeze said of what he and the staff saw in Nixon as a transfer prospect. “You just can’t have enough of those guys. And I think he’s going to come in and compete for a starting position, I really do.” Auburn Undercover also reports that Nixon III will likely play alongside Cam Riley at the weak side linebacker position while Austin Keys and Wesley Steiner will play the middle LB position after the rebuild of the position group with added transfers.
  6. Former Auburn AD Jay Jacobs retires at Florida Published: May. 18, 2023, 2:19 p.m. 3–4 minutes Auburn Tigers Sports Former Auburn athletics director Jay Jacobs retires after 6 years at Florida FILE - In this Oct. 22, 2015, file photo, Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs talks to reporters in Auburn, Ala. Longtime Auburn administrator Jay Jacobs is retiring after nearly four decades in college athletics. Jacobs is stepping down at the end of June after spending the last five years as Florida's associate AD for external affairs. (Todd J. Van Emst/Opelika-Auburn News via AP)AP By Creg Stephenson | cstephenson@al.com Former Auburn athletics director Jay Jacobs has announced his retirement from college athletics after nearly four decades. Jacobs, 62, has been executive associate athletics director for external affairs at Florida since 2018. He was Auburn’s AD from 2004 until his resignation in late 2017. “It’s bittersweet,” Jacobs told The Associated Press. “Made some great relationships over the years. It’s tough to leave, but it’ll be fun what I’m about to do regardless of where I’m at geographically.” Jacobs’ Auburn tenure had some major successes — including the 2010 national championship in football. He also hired Gus Malzahn as football coach in 2013, Bruce Pearl as basketball coach in 2014 and Butch Thompson as baseball coach in 2015. However, there was also controversy, including a wrongful termination lawsuit by former baseball coach Sunny Golloway that was eventually settled out of court. The FBI investigation into college basketball corruption that ensnared former assistant coach Chuck Person happened on Jacobs’ watch, as did a Title IX investigation into allegations of abuse and sexual harassment of softball players. “I believe in Auburn and will fight for Auburn,” Jacobs said upon his resignation from Auburn. “But as I consider the future and what is best for Auburn, I have prayerfully decided the time has come for me to step aside. Sometimes a new direction and new leadership are helpful in moving beyond current problems.” Jacobs, who grew up in the east Alabama town of Lafayette, played football at Auburn in the early 1980s. After a short stint in high school coaching, he was hired as a graduate assistant coach on the football team and also worked in strength & conditioning before going into administration in 1991. Jacobs eventually rose to head of Tigers Unlimited, Auburn’s primary athletic fundraising operation. He took over as AD in December 2004. At Florida, Jacobs oversaw communications, marketing, ticketing, licensing and boosters. He said served as administrator over the Gators’ football program. But he’s now ready to hang it up for good. Though he said he plans to possibly serve as a consultant for college athletics in the future, he won’t be working full time for the first time since he first took a job mowing lawns at age 12 in 1972. “Winning championships, those always are fun, but when I think about my career, I think about the people and the relationships and how people have enriched my life,” Jacobs said. “Just good people everywhere.” The Associated Press contributed to this report.
  7. you are so full of hate you are making up and assuming the worst about this person when you do not know anything about them other than they are different than you or i. i am pretty sure that is a sin. and ol 78 laughing as well. but you guys are such wonderful christians. you guys best hope there is not hell. is that not bearing false witness? it is in fact slander. prove to me she is a red or admit you are lying which you will never do because you have little class.
  8. but trump is a known crook and yet you give him a pass knowing this? tells me what you are about. you guys got slammed by everyone including those on your on side for losing whistleblowers when in fact they did some hanky stuff and lost their clearance and some are in jail and or awaiting trial. it is in one of the posts i made.

  11. Payton Thorne wasted no time arriving on campus Daniel Locke ~3 minutes Former Michigan State Spartans quarterback Payton Thorne did not waste any time getting to the Plains after announcing his decision to transfer to Auburn. Head coach Hugh Freeze confirmed this week that Thorne is already on campus. In an article from the Opelika-Auburn News written by Adam Cole, Freeze speaks on Thorne’s arrival. “Man, he didn’t wait,” Freeze said of Thorne. “He’s already in there watching film on his own and learning stuff. He’s anxious to get with the team and start working out.” The article also included a quote from Freeze on what Thorne brings to the table for the Auburn offense. “I know that everybody — we talk more about his stats or whatever — but I think that this football team at Auburn right now has missed some leadership, particularly on the offensive side,” Freeze said. “To get that in that room, I think only elevates everybody. The more good leaders you put around them, the more you get them to model that. I feel like he’s a mature leader that knows how to prepare.” Thorne went 242-387 for 2,679 yards and 19 touchdowns last season. The article also included a quote from Freeze on how Robby Ashford, the quarterback who started for Auburn most of last season, has handled the addition of Thorne. “Robby’s handling things extremely well,” Freeze said. “I’m proud of him for that. Every team at this level is going to have competition at every position if you want to be good. You’re going to have four quarterbacks; we’re not the only ones. Everybody’s going to have them, and we’ve got to go compete and figure out what’s best for our football team. I think it’s vital that all of our quarterbacks are doing a lot this summer to prepare.” The quarterback battle will be a point of focus for the Tigers throughout the summer. Redshirt freshman Holden Geriner will also be competing with Thorne and Ashford.
