auburntigers.com Auburn's Quattlebaum, Curtis earn Spring 2022 PNC Achievers Award Auburn University Athletics 4-5 minutes AUBURN, Ala. – In conjunction with the PNC Achievers program, Auburn announced Jacob Quattlebaum (Football) and Ashley-Sinclair Curtis (Women's Golf) as the Spring 2022 PNC Achievers Award winners on Thursday. The PNC Achievers program celebrates achievement among student-athletes and showcases student success through its honors and recognition program. A male and female student-athlete are recognized each semester for their well-rounded achievement through leadership, academic success, community engagement and in competition. Quattlebaum is a senior on the football team who recently graduated with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. He served as president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) this past year and was vice president the year before. He's a three-time member of the SEC Academic Honor Roll and has been part of the SEC's Student-Athlete Leadership Council since 2020. "I'm really grateful for this award," Quattlebaum said. "Serving as president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee this past year and really trying to do what I can to give back to not only the Auburn community but Auburn Athletics and Auburn University – it's an awesome thing. It's a thing a lot of people miss out on in their time here. "I've been able to take advantage of those opportunities and do what I can to leave Auburn in a better place when I leave here." Curtis is a sophomore on the women's golf team studying business analytics. She is a SAAC representative for women's golf and was named to the SEC Community Service Team in the spring. A member of the Lamda Sigma Honor Society and the Auburn University Dean's List, Curtis was recognized as a finalist for the Philip Lutzenkirchen Excellence in Public Speaking Award in Spring 2021. "First of all, to God be the glory," Curtis said. "I can't do anything under my own strength. He is with me every step of the way. I am extremely humbled to have been nominated for this award in the first place and even more humbled and blessed to have won. I hope that I can represent my team to the best of my ability going forward." There will be an on-field recognition for Quattlebaum and Curtis prior to the Auburn-Penn State football game on Saturday, Sept. 17. It's also the PNC Entitlement game.

Democratic lawmakers and activists, including Jon Stewart, expressed their anger and frustration on Capitol Hill on Thursday toward Republican senators who blocked a bipartisan bill that would expand health care access for military veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. “This is total bulls***,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., said at a press conference outside the Capitol on Thursday morning. “This is the worst form of politicization I’ve literally ever seen. This is total BS. We had the votes.” Last month, the Senate voted 84-14 in favor of the legislation, called the Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act, which had passed the House earlier this year. The measure would boost health care services and disability benefits for veterans suffering from exposure to the burn pits that were used in Iraq and Afghanistan to incinerate waste, with troops often using jet fuel as an accelerant.

(Bonnie Cash/UPI/Shutterstock) Because of a parliamentary glitch involving a tax provision, it was sent back to the House, where it easily passed. But more than two dozen Republican senators, led by Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, voted Wednesday to delay its passage in order to cut some of the mandatory spending contained in the bill. "My concern about this bill has nothing to do with the purpose of the bill," Toomey said, voicing his opposition to what he described as a "budgetary gimmick" that would allow $400 billion in additional spending. The move outraged those, like Gillibrand, who had fought for its passage. “We had strong bipartisan support for this bill,” Gillibrand said. “And at the eleventh hour, Sen. Toomey decides that he wants to rewrite the bill, change the rules and tank it. How he convinced 25 of his colleagues to change their vote, I have no idea. I mean, what the hell!” Jon Stewart speaks to Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., at Thursday's press conference. (Drew Angerer/Getty Images) "Make no mistake about it," Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., said on the Senate floor Wednesday, shortly after the bill was blocked. "The American people are sick and tired of the games that go on in this body. They're sick and tired of us working for Democrats or working for Republicans and not working for the American people. But this is bigger than that." Tester blasted the "cowardice" shown by Republicans who "chose today to rob generations of toxic-exposed veterans across this country of the health care and benefits they've earned and so desperately need." "This is a sad day in the United States Senate," he said. Stewart, who has spent the past few years advocating on behalf of military veterans, did not mince words while speaking alongside vets and their families at Thursday's press conference. Stewart speaks to reporters Thursday. (Jonathan Ernst/Reuters) "So ain't this a bitch," Stewart said. "America's heroes, who fought in our wars, sweating their asses off outside with oxygen, while these motherf***ers sit in the air conditioning, walled off from any of it. They don't have to hear it. They don't have to see it. They don't have to understand that these are human beings. "I'm used to the hypocrisy," he continued. "I'm used to the cowardice. The Senate is where accountability goes to die. "I'm used to all of it," Stewart added. "But I'm not used to the cruelty."

si.com An early look at the 2023 Auburn baseball roster Lindsay Crosby 9-11 minutes You'd think losing eight current players to MLB, as well as a key incoming transfer, would have had Auburn baseball head coach Butch Thompson disappointed with the numerous holes opened up in the roster, but Thompson was excited that they are getting to pursue their dreams. "That's program development. They're supposed to come through here, and I want every person to get their degree and go to pro ball, and that's happening," he said. "You love these boys, and they give us so much," Thompson said. "When you see them develop like that, man, that's the goal." Auburn's drafted players include key relievers RHP Blake Burkhalter (Round 2C, Atlanta Braves) and LHP Carson Skipper (Round 11, Colorado Rockies), most of the weekend rotation in RHPs Mason Barnett (Round 3, Kansas City Royals) & Trace Bright (Round 5, Baltimore Orioles), LHP Hayden Mullins (Round 12, Boston Red Sox), and hitters 1B Sonny DiChiara (Round 5, Los Angeles Angels), 3B Blake Rambusch (Round 15, Seattle Mariners) and SS Brody Moore (Round 17, St. Louis Cardinals). Additionally, incoming transfer RHP Jonathan Brand of Miami (OH), who was expected to compete for a weekend starting spot, was selected in the 8th round by the Boston Red Sox and is expected to sign. Now that we know the eight draftees all plan to forgo their remaining eligibility and begin their professional careers, we can begin piecing together Auburn's 2023 roster. In a major coup, Auburn managed to get all of their incoming recruits to campus, no easy feat when you have five players who went through the USA Baseball prospect development pipeline. Catcher Ike Irish, the headliner of the group, was projected as a Top 100 talent, with centerfielder Chris Stanfield & LHP Zach Crotchfelt inside the Top 200 and RHP Hayden Murphy and Alabama's 2022 Gatorade Player of the Year, LHP Drew Nelson, receiving interest from scouts but being firm in their commitment to Auburn. “We have a good class coming in, but we had four guys that we thought would all be tough to get to school. We don't get one of the four, two of the four, three of the four. We get all four guys coming in,” said Thompson. INFIELD Returning in the infield will be switch-hitter Cole Foster, expected to switch from 2B to SS with the graduation and drafting of SS Brody Moore, and catcher Nate LaRue, who spurned multiple overtures from MLB teams during the draft process. Joining them will be junior college addition Caden Green (.425 w/ 13HRs & 49 RBIs at Seminole State) and transfer 1B Cooper McMurray from Kansas (.248 w/ 9 HRs). McMurray will compete with returner Cam Hill for first base duties, with Ike Irish competing with Ryan Dyal for backup catching duties and Green competing with senior Mason Land and sophomore Brady Moss for third base. True freshman Irish is an early favorite for occasional DH duties - he's considered a rather polished offensive contributor for a freshman, with a contact-oriented, line drive swing and gap-to-gap power from the left hand side. The coaching staff is particularly high on Kansas transfer McMurray, a 6'4, 250lb rising redshirt sophomore with noteworthy power. Playing first base all year, the lefty hitter committed zero errors in 287 chances, and could work in the outfield in a pinch. "You want them to play as much athletically as you can," Thompson said. "Because only one person can DH. So you want them to be able to play the field as much as they possibly can." Getting a player with a mix of experience and remaining eligibility is a major win for Thompson, who can rely on more than one season out of the Tusla, Oklahoma native. "I think that's a huge piece because now this kid's got potentially three years in our program, and he's played at a high level. Three years, left-handed power: It really covered the checklist." OUTFIELD Auburn's outfield has quickly transitioned from a spot of questionable depth to a strength. Finishing the 2022 season, left to right, was freshman LF Mike Bello, CF Kason Howell, and RF Bobby Peirce. Neither Howell or Peircewere selected in the draft, with Peircedeclining multiple overtures from MLB scouts and front offices. There's a belief amongst the program that a quality year in the SEC can catapult Bobby Peirceinto an early Day 2 draft selection, and he intends to put together a full final season - he hit .284 w/ 10HRs and a .912 OPS despite not seizing a full-time starting spot in right field until early April. Joining them are two veterans with starting experience, seniors Bryson Ware and Josh Hall. Adding to this group are two newcomers, the freshman centerfielder Stanfield and Kent State transfer Justin Kirby (.323 w/ 15 HRs & 45 RBIs). Competition for starting roles will be fierce in fall practice, with Peirce, Kirby, and Howell the early favorites but Stanfield and Bello making strong cases for inclusion. Stanfield, described as a "true centerfielder" by Auburn assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Karl Nonemaker, is an early favorite to seize playing time by flashing his loud tools. Seen as a plus-plus runner, his blazing speed enables him to chase down balls from gap to gap and cover a lot of ground defensively, with his plus arm suppressing the scoring opportunities on base hits. Offensive questions may be what initially holds him back from starting early in the season as a true freshman - he has legit bat speed from the right side of the plate but there are some swing-and-miss concerns and he'll need to add some strength to his 6'2, 190 frame to upgrade his current gap power into home runs. PITCHING It's no surprise that Auburn's pitching rotation took the brunt of the losses from the MLB Draft, with three starters in Mullins, Barnett, and Bright all leaving for MLB and incoming transfer Brand being intercepted before making it to campus. Auburn's got a returning ace in junior Joseph Gonzalez, who followed up a 7-4 2022 season w/ a 3.22 ERA by making the USA Collegiate National Team and representing team USA at Honkbalweek Haarlem in the Netherlands over the summer. The Puerto Rico native is joined in the weekend rotation by returning grad student LHP Tommy Sheehan, who transferred in from Notre Dame and is spending a second senior season in Plainsman Park. Having gone through a partial Tommy John repair his final season at Notre Dame, he came to Auburn and was slowly eased back into competition over the season, only pitching six times before April. In his final seven appearances, he pitched fourteen total innings with only seven hits and one earned run, striking out twelve. A three year-starter at Notre Dame, his veteran experience will be invaluable to this rotation and the challenge of starting in the SEC will be useful to him, as well. “Playing in the SEC, it’s the best conference in the country,” Sheehan told Jason Caldwell of 247. “You’re always going up against the best players each and every week. Hopefully I can have a full and healthy year and help out the team any way I can and get something out of it at the end of the year and move on to pro ball, which has been a goal of mine.” Auburn's got multiple options for the third weekend spot, with both newcomers and returning veterans as candidates. Junior Carson Swilling and grad student Jordan Armstrong are early favorites, but freshmen RHP Hayden Murphy and LHPs Drew Nelson and Zach Crotchfelt could challenge for midweek or weekend spots with good showings in fall ball. Chase Isbell is the early favorite to replace Blake Burkhalter as closer, now that's he's a full season-plus removed from a partial TJ procedure, similar to Sheehan. Seldom used early in the 2022 season (he didn't make his season debut until March 22nd), Isbell pitched in both the Super Regional in Corvallis and in Omaha, going a combined 4.1 scoreless innings with one hit and seven strikeouts. He only allowed one earned run in his final nine appearances, spanning 13.1 innings with 6 hits and 18 strikeouts. Joining him in the back end will be a pair of sophomores, RHPs Chase Allsup and John Armstrong, who showed flashes of dominance in their true freshman seasons but also struggled at times with the transition from high school to the toughest competition in amateur baseball of the SEC. OUTLOOK Following Butch Thompson's outline of building a competitive roster through pitching, "dominating the routine play", and timely hitting, the Auburn coaching staff has recruited a blend of power and pitchability arms, potential impact bats, and some quality defenders. There are multiple options to mix and match at multiple positions on the diamond, and fall ball is going to be crucial to sorting and separating those players who are ready for the step up in competitions versus those who need a bit more time to work on their game. When the class was initially finalized, Auburn assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Karl Nonemaker remarked about how many more players were prepared to contribute right away than usual. “In this league it’s so hard to come in ready to play, and there’s some guys that we think that are going to be ready to play. There’s more guys that we think are ready to play in this class than a typical class.”

man i hate this! i hope we continue to move forward.

Tim Hudson stepping down from Auburn baseball ... UPDATE! Lindsay Crosby 2 minutes Auburn baseball's coaching staff will go through some changes this offseason. Per sources, Auburn alum and 17-year MLB veteran Tim Hudson will be leaving his role as a volunteer assistant. The move has not yet been confirmed by the team. Hudson, a member of the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame and the Atlanta Braves Hall of Fame, just finished his 3rd season as a volunteer assistant, where he coached the pitching staff and developed 8 MLB Draft picks, including day one picks RHP Blake Burkhalter (2022 - 2C) and RHP Tanner Burns (2020 - CB-A). Prior to coaching at Auburn, he spent 17 years in Major League Baseball, with the Athletics, Braves, and Giants, where he won a World Series and was a four-time MLB All-Star. Sources indicate that the likely replacement for Hudson is Daron Schoenrock. He coached with Butch Thompson at Mississippi State and just finished an 18-year stint as head coach at Memphis, where he collected 437 wins and was the 2013 Conference USA Coach of the Year. It is believed that Hudson will be joining the staff of local private Lee-Scott Academy; his son recently transferred there for his senior year. Hudson was part of a coaching staff that helped lead the Tigers to the staff's first win in Omaha during the College World Series this season.

we have players on award watch lists too! i brahmns made one and some fans have been just killing him in here over the years. lets hope he has stepped up!

well milk that teat for all it is worth bro! lol

AUBURN, Alabama—On To Victory – a Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) collective for student-athletes – has been launched by a group of long-time Auburn University supporters. This NIL effort is distinctive in that the leadership has pledged that no board member will receive compensation, with at least 90% of proceeds going directly to Auburn athletes. On To Victory also invites and encourages broad participation from all members of the Auburn family. “It is our Auburn Family and their Auburn Spirit that separates us from all others,” said board member Dr. Wesley Spruill ’83, a physician in Tuscaloosa. “The goal of On To Victory is to be the voice of our donors and of our Auburn Family and assist them in forever changing the lives of our student-athletes.” Among former Auburn athletes supporting the On To Victory collective is basketball fan favorite Bryce Brown. “Our student athletes need and deserve your support,” said Brown, whose play was key to Auburn’s 2019 Final Four run. “I’m all in. Please join me in supporting On To Victory and keep Auburn successful. War Eagle.” “Only a few student-athletes will be able to monetize their sacrifices as a pro, yet all are important to their college teams,” said On To Victory donor Walt Woltosz ’69, a noted innovator in digital communication. “Some come from homes with limited incomes. NIL affords them an opportunity to realize some financial reward for them and their families.” The On To Victory collective brings together committed donors and former athletes to provide guidance to organizations offering NIL opportunities as well as to Auburn student-athletes. Board members have worked closely with compliance experts to ensure that their efforts are NCAA compliant and consistent with Alabama state law. “Through NIL, we have the opportunity to positively impact the lives of Auburn student-athletes and put Auburn Athletics in position to compete for championships,” said board member Mike Arasin ‘88. Along with the leadership’s no-compensation pledge, they are also promising transparency in the collective’s finances and activities. While individual contract information will remain private, donors will receive donation and expense reports. The plan calls for prudent administrative cost controls to ensure maximum benefits for student-athletes. A key component of the On To Victory strategy is an advisory committee of former athletes representing all levels of sport. Committee members will apply their expertise in evaluating both the student-athletes and the opportunities to determine the most successful partnerships. “Both NIL and the On To Victory are putting Auburn in a position to truly compete year after year on a national level,” said Evan Crawford, former Auburn and Toronto Blue Jays baseball player. “Over the years we have battled partial scholarships for sports like baseball in our state. This opportunity levels the playing field and will change the lives of our student-athletes.” The collective has obtained the URL https://ontovictory.com/. Interested Auburn supporters can visit the site for regular updates on developments and opportunities to participate. “Now is the time to support our coaches and athletes; this group has a long-proven record of doing that,” said Steve Wallace, former Auburn offensive lineman who won three Super Bowls with the San Francisco 49ers. “Now is the time for everyone to get on board and help!” Woltosz agreed. “Our student-athletes work very hard to achieve the ability to compete at the D1 level. Much harder than my basic training for the military. I believe we need to support them – all of them – by supporting NIL.”

#PMARSHONAU: 'On To Victory' collective aims to make a difference for Auburn Phillip Marshall 7-9 minutes Late Kick Blitz: Making the case for Auburn to go over their win total Walt Woltosz is an internationally renowned scientist and engineer with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in aerospace engineering and am honorary doctorate from Auburn. Though he is technically retired, he is the founder and Chairman of the Board of Simulations Plus, an immensely successful firm that produces simulation and modeling software for pharmaceutical research. Woltosz, a member of the Alabama Engineering Hall of Fame, serves on the Auburn University Foundation Board of Directors. His professional accomplishments are legendary. And he loves Auburn athletics. He and his wife, Ginger, gave $10 million to help in building Auburn’s new football facility. When he was approached about joining other major donors in an Auburn NIL collective, he embraced the idea. He was on the founding Board of Directors. He and his wife donated $1 million to the cause. Later today, the On To Victory NIL Collective is scheduled to be officially launched. Woltosz wasn’t so sure about the move last summer to allow athletes to profit off their names, images and likenesses. But he is convinced now. “At first I didn’t like it,” Woltosz said. “Then I got to thinking about how hard these kids work to make it to a D-1 school and be able to play at this level. A lot of them come from families that don’t have a lot of money. A lot of them aren’t going to make it to the pros. This is their one chance to capitalize on their hard work. This is a way for them to not only put some money in their own pockets but help their families.” Woltosz had breakfast with Auburn coach Bruce Pearl on Wednesday morning. And Pearl, who has taken Auburn basketball to unprecedented heights, made clear the reality of the new normal in college athletics. “He said NIL has to be our top priority,” Woltosz said. “If not, we’re not going to be competitive. People want to give to winners. People are encouraged when things are going well. Things are going well. Football has its issues right now, but look at other sports. … We are doing really, really well. If we want to continue to do that, we have to provide support.” Woltosz said he sees positive development in Auburn football, too, harkening back to Auburn’s near miss against Alabama in the Iron Bowl. Winning, he acknowledged, would help the NIL picture. But, as he pointed out, NIL is needed to win. That’s why Woltosz and other significant donors were ready to listen when Wesley Spruill called. Spruill, a Tuscaloosa physician and a coastal property developer, started the move that will culminate with today’s announcement. He put together a six-man Board of Directors made up of loyal Auburn people who have shared their treasure with the university they all love. “We are basically just voices for a lot of value donors who know we have to make it happen,” Spruill said. “A lot of people wish this wasn’t happening. The reality is we have to have it to be successful. Done right, we can change kids’ lives. These kids love being at Auburn. We want to change kids’ lives, make Auburn competitive. We’re not trying to outspend everybody. We want to have a solid NIL program and do it the right way.” The new collective has a web site – www.ontovictory.com – up and running. It will seek donations large and small. It will work with businesses to provide opportunities for Auburn athletes. It has a group concentrating on football, another on basketball and another on baseball. The collective purchased the assets of NIL-Auburn, a collective started by Auburn lawyer and former baseball catcher Rick Davidson. Woltosz said it was extremely fortunate that Davidson jumped into it early. All contracts signed by NIL-Auburn will be honored. “Thank goodness he did it when he did,” Woltosz said. “If he hadn’t, we wouldn’t have had much of anything going on. The bigger donors need to step up and do something. But we can’t expect these people to do this year after year. Everybody is enjoying the sports, so everybody needs to pitch in with whatever they are comfortable with.” Walt and Ginger Woltosz (Photo: Auburn University) Board members of the On To Victory Collective, Spruill said, are not seeking money for themselves and will not take any portion of donations for themselves. “We got a group together to find out what we need to do to do what is best for Auburn,” Spruill said. “We will prove every year that nobody in our organization will ever make a penny.” The leadership group includes Spruill, Nick Davis, Keith Jones, Ned Sheffield, Mike Garrison, Steve Fleming and Mike Arasin. They are successful professionals who have set out to make sure Auburn athletics is not left behind and that Auburn athletes benefit. It’s been an educational process for all involved. Collectives are not allowed to offer pay for play. It is against the rules for the collectives to contact prospects at all before they are enrolled. Once they are enrolled, there are no limits on what they can receive. Coaches also are not allowed to make NIL offers to players. Some, of course, get around the rules by breaking the rules. But here is how executive athletics director Rich McGlynn explained it: “If they are asking a coach ‘What can I get?’ the coach is going to say ‘I can’t promise you anything and can’t be involved. I can show you our recruiting presentation that shows you what the kids on our team are making, and you have every reason to believe you can make the same kind of money if not more. We expect NIL to grow. If you help us win championships, Auburn people take care of Auburn kids. Our coaches have to be really careful about what they are saying.” Spruill said Auburn’s collective will strongly adhere to the latest NCAA guidance and do it “the right way.” “We can’t communicate with anybody until they are on campus,” Spruill said. “None of that is legal. We can’t as a collective do that, and we’re not going to do it.” Athletes who sign with the On To Victory Collective will also be allowed to make their own deals with businesses outside of the collective. “If Auburn does not have a collective, nobody is going to consider coming here,” Spruill said. “It’s legal. It’s not dirty. We can help change kids’ lives. We are going to teach them about managing money, about taxes. If we don’t have a successful NIL, players aren’t going to come here, and we’ll never hire a coach again.” The hope, Woltosz said, is that enough Auburn people will step forward and make donations so that the burden does not fall only on a few. Even $50 a month, he said, could make a significant difference. 14COMMENTS “If we could get a few 10s of thousands of the 300,000 alumni we have that are still alive to do that, we’d be in pretty good shape to be competitive,” Woltosz said. Welcome to the new world of college athletics. ">247Sports

Auburn 2022 fall camp position preview: Wide receivers By Tom Green | tgreen@al.com 7-9 minutes This is the third in an 11-part series examining each position group ahead of the start of Auburn’s fall camp on Aug. 5. The third installment looks at Auburn’s wide receivers. Auburn’s receiving corps is rebuilding as it enters the second year of Bryan Harsin’s tenure as head coach. The group lost two of its top-three receivers from last season—leading receiver Kobe Hudson, who was dismissed before transferring to UCF after the season, and transfer Demetris Robertson, who graduated after his one season on the Plains. It’ll be a new look for the position, which has just one seemingly entrenched starter with ample experience (super senior Shedrick Jackson) and features a new coach in Ike Hilliard — a longtime NFL assistant whose impact has been felt since his arrival in the spring — as well as five new additions since the end of last season (three freshmen and a pair of transfers). Read more Auburn football: Breaking down Auburn’s quarterbacks ahead of fall camp Breaking down Auburn’s running backs ahead of fall camp Now at Auburn, Zach Calzada earned lasting respect at Texas A&M for his toughness “I think we got playmakers,” Harsin said. “I think we got to get them in the right spots. Just watching, they can run, catch, do all that…. I do think we have them, but we got to go prove it. We got to go do it in fall camp. We got to go prove it during the season, that we can get open, and we got to get it to them.” Departed: Demetris Robertson (graduated), Kobe Hudson (transfer), Caylin Newton (transfer). Returning starters: Shedrick Jackson (40 receptions, 527 yards, one touchdown). Other returning players: Ja’Varrius Johnson (19 receptions, 274 yards, two touchdowns), Malcolm Johnson Jr. (six receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown), Landen King (five receptions for 59 yards and a touchdown), Ze’Vian Capers (six receptions for 54 yards), Tar’Varish Dawson Jr. (redshirted last season), Jay Fair (freshman early enrollee), J.J. Evans (did not see the field last season) Summer arrivals: Dazalin Worsham, Miami transfer; Koy Moore, LSU transfer; Omari Kelly, four-star freshman; Camden Brown, three-star freshman. Outlook: Auburn’s wide receiver corps will be one of the more intriguing groups to watch in fall camp, given what the Tigers lost from last year’s roster, what they bring back and what they’ve added to the room. Shedrick Jackson may be the most proven of the bunch, given his years of experience and that he’s the team’s leading returning receiver, but last year was his first truly impactful season on the Plains. The Tigers also bring back Ja’Varrius Johnson, who started a handful of games last season but has seen his first few years hampered by injuries, as well as Malcolm Johnson Jr., who also earned a handful of starts in 2021 and has shown glimpses of being a downfield playmaker but just doesn’t have a lot of in-game experience. Auburn also returns a handful of other players from last season, including Tar’Varish Dawson Jr., who earned a starting job in fall camp a year ago but never saw the field after a preseason setback. He has been a different player this offseason, according to Harsin, and could carve out a role in the passing game this fall if he continues his upward trajectory. Ze’Vian Capers is another returning option who has progressed and could emerge as that bigger, longer target Auburn has lacked in the passing game. Then there’s Landen King, the hybrid tight end/receiver who has made waves since switching up his role this offseason. The 6-foot-5 sophomore has shown he’s capable of being a big-bodied threat downfield, and it’ll be interesting to see how his role evolves in the offense and just how much time he spends out wide compared to at tight end. As for the Tigers’ newcomers, don’t be surprised if many of them work their way onto the field early on, with LSU transfer Koy Moore the likely breakout candidate among the group, through the early returns on freshmen Jay Fair (an early enrollee) and Omari Kelly and Camden Brown have been promising. “Those young guys, now, they came in and they weren’t just messing around,” Harsin said. “They came in to really learn what we were doing and try to put themselves on the field.” It’ll be on Harsin, Hilliard and new offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau to determine just how things shape up at the position, but Auburn is optimistic that its makeover in the receiver room—from personnel to the addition of Hilliard as coach—will pay dividends this fall. It’ll have to, especially with Auburn breaking in a new starting quarterback. “The attitude of that room probably is what’s brought out the best in some of those guys that we didn’t see before, and I think Ike’s a big reason for that,” Harsin said. “I think those new guys coming in is a big reason for that, because depth — we didn’t have any, and so at some point, receivers run more than anybody on the field, and at some point you’re like, ‘I’m going to go as hard as I need to today, because there isn’t anybody else.’ You got to kind of play that game a little bit. When you got more depth, you get more competition, and you get better results out of your guys. I think they appreciate the guys we have in that room.” Battle to watch: Auburn’s wide receiver corps, without much proven experience beyond super senior Shedrick Jackson, could be the most up-for-grabs position group this fall for the Tigers, with Bryan Harsin saying at SEC Media Days last week that each receiver spot is “wide open” heading into fall camp. One to keep a particularly close watch on is the Z position, where Malcolm Johnson Jr. started a handful of games last season but you could see hybrid receiver/tight end Landen King—at 6-foot-5 and 220 pounds—really push for the job as a big-bodied threat in the passing game. Keep an eye on: LSU transfer Koy Moore, whose name has been a prominent one this summer since his arrival on the Plains. Moore saw the field immediately as a freshman at LSU in 2020, when opt-outs forced him into a bigger role than anticipated, but his production and playing time diminished last season before he entered the transfer portal back in October in the wake of the program’s decision to part ways with Ed Orgeron at season’s end. Moore, a 6-foot-1, 192-pound former four-star prospect has impressed teammates and coaches with his work ethic and early signs of leadership—as well as his big-play ability, with Harsin noting that on his first day of summer workouts, he snagged an inside slant and turned it into a long touchdown. That type of playmaking was lacking from Auburn’s receivers last season, and Moore is a prime candidate to help revitalize the unit. Projected two-deep: Wide receiver/X: Shedrick Jackson, super senior (6-foot-2, 202 pounds) Ze’Vian Capers, junior (6-foot-4, 192 pounds) Wide receiver/H: Koy Moore, redshirt sophomore (6-foot-1, 192 pounds) OR Ja’Varrius Johnson, redshirt junior (5-foot-10, 160 pounds) Tar’Varish Dawson Jr., redshirt freshman (5-foot-10, 161 pounds) Wide receiver/Z: Malcolm Johnson Jr., junior (6-foot-1, 195 pounds) Landen King, sophomore (6-foot-5, 220 pounds) Up next: Tight ends.

Owen Pappoe represents Auburn on Butkus Award Watch List Auburn University Athletics 5-6 minutes AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn's Owen Pappoe was among the 51 linebackers chosen for the Butkus Award Watch List on Monday. The award honors the nation's best linebacker. The watch list features 51 linebackers, mirroring the legendary "51" pro jersey associated with the award's namesake, Dick Butkus, who was recognized by NFL Films as the best defensive player in football history. The Butkus Award is focused on recognizing linebackers who consistently play off the ball on their feet in a two-point stance in traditional form. "I am always excited about seeing our great watch list players on the field," said Butkus, the College and Pro Football Hall of Famer. "When an outstanding player receives the Butkus Award he will know two things: First, he is recognized as the best of the best linebackers in America. Second, and in the long run most important, he will understand this recognition brings a responsibility of giving back." Pappoe, a team captain last year, played in five games finished with 23 tackles. The year before, in 2020, he was second on the team with 93 tackles and had six tackles for loss with four sacks. The former five-star linebacker, now entering his senior season, was voted Third Team Preseason All-SEC by the media last week. Auburn has now had a player make the Butkus Watch List in five of the last six years with Pappoe (2022), Zakoby McClain (2021), K.J. Britt (2020), Deshaun Davis (2018) and Tre Williams (2017). Though no Auburn player has won the award, Takeo Spikes (1996, 1997) and Karlos Dansby (2003) were both semifinalists. This year, the semifinalists are expected to be named Oct. 31 with finalists to follow Nov. 21. The winner will be named on or before Dec. 7. Appearing on the watch list is not a requirement to win the award. Players Mentioned #33 K.J.

The FWAA tabs Derick Hall for Nagurski Trophy Watch List Auburn University Athletics 6-7 minutes AUBURN, Ala. – Coming off a breakout year last year, Auburn senior Derick Hall was named to the 2022 Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List on Tuesday. The Nagurski Trophy is given annually to the nation's best defender. The 85 players on the watch list were selected by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) who has chosen a National Defensive Player of the Year since 1993. Hall led Auburn and was among the top 10 in the SEC in tackles for loss (12.5) and sacks (9.0) a year ago. His nine sacks were tied for third most in the conference as he earned Second Team All-SEC honors from the coaches. Now entering his fourth season on the Plains, the senior edge has 83 career tackles with 17.5 tackles for loss. "The goals are still the same," Hall said last week while at SEC Media Days. "My aspirations are still the same. We want to take this team to the next level on defense, so we have to come to work every day. We have to fulfill everything we said we were going to do." On Friday, Hall picked up a First Team nod on the 2022 Media Days All-SEC Team. Since 2018, Auburn has now had seven players make the Nagurski Trophy Watch List with Hall (2022), Zakoby McClain (2021), K.J. Britt (2020), Big Kat Bryant (2020), Derrick Brown (2019 and 2018), Nick Coe (2019) and Marlon Davidson (2018). The FWAA and the Charlotte Touchdown Club will announce finalists for the 2022 trophy on Nov. 16 and the winner will be unveiled Dec. 5 at the Bronko Nagurski Awards Banquet in Charlotte, N.C. Players may be added or removed from the watch list during the course of the season. As in previous years, the FWAA will announce a National Defensive Player of the Week each Tuesday this season. If not already on the watch list, each week's honored player will be added at that time. Players Mentioned #33 K.J.

Nick Brahms makes third straight Rimington Trophy Watch List Auburn University Athletics 3 minutes AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn senior Nick Brahms was named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List on Friday. The award is presented annually to the most outstanding center in college football. This year, the Trophy worked with Pro Football Focus (PFF) to narrow down its list to the top 40 centers. For Brahms, it's the third straight year on the Rimington Trophy Watch List. The senior, who is one of only two centers in the SEC to make the watch list the last three years, has played in 40 career games at Auburn and has started every game at center each of the last two seasons. He was granted an extra year of eligibility this year because of COVID-19. Between Brahms and Kaleb Kim (2019), Auburn has now had a center make the Rimington Trophy Watch List in each of the last four years. In 2014, former All-SEC offensive lineman Reese Dismukes became the first Auburn player to win the Rimington Trophy, The Rimington Trophy committee is made up of selectors from three All-America Teams – Walter Camp Foundation, Sporting News and Football Writers Association of America. The center with the most first-team votes will be determined the winner. If there is a tie with first-team votes, then the center with the most second-team votes will win. If there is still a tie, the winner will be determined by a majority vote from the Rimington Trophy Committee. The winner will be recognized at the Rimington Trophy Presentation at the Rocco Theatre in Lincoln, Nebraska on Jan. 14, 2023. Players Mentioned #52 Nick Brahms OL 6' 3" 299 lbs Junior Business

Auburn center Nick Brahms makes Wuerffel Trophy Watch List Auburn University Athletics 3-4 minutes AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn center Nick Brahms was named to the Wuerffel Trophy Watch List on Thursday. It's the second straight year Brahms has made the watch list for the Wuerffel Trophy, college football's premier award for community service. Named after Danny Wuerffel, the 1996 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback from the University of Florida, the Wuerffel Trophy is presented each February in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. The trophy honors college football players who serve others, celebrate their positive impact on society and inspire greater service in the world. "I continue to be impressed with the number of college football players who are achieving on the field and still dedicating time to make a positive impact in their community," said Wuerffel. "The student-athletes on this watch list are positively impacting organizations throughout the country." Brahms, who has played in 40 games in his Auburn career with 33 starts, graduated in May with a master's degree in business administration. He earned his undergraduate in 2020 in professional flight management and is training to become a certified flight instructor. Last year, in addition to being on the Wuerffel Trophy Watch List, Brahms was one of 30 Senior CLASS Award candidates and was a CoSIDA First Team Academic All-America selection. He was also one of 13 student-athletes Auburn to receive the Academic Excellence Award by the 1A Faculty Athletics Representatives. This is the second watch list for Brahms this offseason. The senior center was also selected to the Rimington Trophy Watch List for the third consecutive year. Nominations for the Wuerffel Trophy are made by the respective universities' Sports Information Departments and will close on Oct. 14.

Barton Lester senior spotlight: 'A dream come true' Auburn University Athletics 8-10 minutes AUBURN, Ala. – Senior linebacker Barton Lester doesn’t mince words in describing his alma mater and its place in his heart. “I love Auburn – always have, always will,” he said. “There’s something really special about Auburn and something special about being part of it.” After he transferred to Auburn from the Air Force Academy in 2019 and sat out his first season, Tiger fans didn’t know what to expect from Lester and what impact he would have. Three seasons later, fans know very well the contributions this defender and special teams standout has made on their favorite team, scoring a touchdown recovering a blocked Arkansas punt in 2020 and following up with a blocked punt against Alabama State and a recovery of a blocked Georgia State punt for another touchdown last season. Being from Montgomery, where he played football, baseball and basketball at Montgomery Academy, Lester has been an Auburn fan his whole life. He attended games growing up with his father and grandfather, both Auburn alums, and he prayed that his dedication and love for football would allow him to play on the Plains one day. “My grandfather went here many decades ago, followed by my dad and now me and three, potentially four, of my siblings,” Lester explained. “I’ve been coming to Auburn games since I was in the womb. I had a Bo Jackson jersey and a Cadillac jersey and would even wear them to church against my parents’ wishes. “I remember going to games in 2004 as a child, watching us beat Florida and LSU in 2006, Cam Newton in 2010 and I was at the Kick Six in 2013. The list goes on and on – the community is awesome. It’s sometimes hectic, sometimes unconventional but there’s something really special about Auburn. I wanted to try the Air Force Academy but this is the place that means a lot to me.” Lester refers to his two years at Air Force as “a big humbling experience.” “I made a name for myself over there, built a reputation, and was starting to play for a young guy, which is hard to do at an academy, but ultimately, that was not the path I wanted to go on,” said Lester, who decided to transfer back to his home state to become an Auburn Tiger. As a transfer walk-on who did not see any game action in 2019, Lester doubled down on the Auburn Creed value of work, hard work. “I just grinded all year trying to pick out the best guy on scout special teams and I tried every day to compete and go against him,” he said. “In 2020, I thought I had built a reputation for myself and started to do well.” His efforts did not go unnoticed, as Lester received more and more playing time, especially on special teams. Those units are Lester’s home and he is looking for a big season there. “I want to make an impact on special teams and really lead that group,” the SEC academic honor roll student said. “In my reserve role on defense, I really want to step up and contribute at linebacker as well.” I know I make a positive impact especially behind the scenes that a lot of people don’t see, and I take pride in that contribution. Barton Lester Last fall, Lester had a life-changing experience when Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin awarded him a scholarship. “That was a very humbling moment and I felt a lot of gratitude,” Lester recalled. “Playing at Auburn and earning a scholarship is something I’ve prayed for from a very early age and was one of my main life goals. “I worked very, very hard to even get to Auburn, and once I was here, the majority of people’s expectations for me were low, but I believed and continued to work and continued to give it to God and trust in His plan for my football career and life. “I’m still extremely grateful to Coach Harsin and every other coach and player who have poured into me over the years and believed in me against the odds. I will forever feel indebted to Auburn for the opportunities and relationships it has provided me.” Lester says fans can expect a lot from the Auburn Tigers this year, especially at linebacker. “We got a new linebacker coach, Christian Robinson, and he’s been awesome in giving us understanding of the game,” Lester said. “I think the Auburn linebackers might have one of the best coaching situations in the SEC or even the nation.” Lester has great confidence in his teammates in the linebacker room as well. “Owen Pappoe obviously wasn’t able to go in spring, due to his leg injury, but he’s looking good now. Cam Riley also stepped up; he’s one of my closest guys on the team and I’m really proud of his progression. I’m expecting big things out of him this year. Wesley Steiner did well, and Eugene Asante stepped up after transferring from UNC and has really come in and worked hard. Jake Levant’s been doing really well. Sammy Cohen, coming back from a shoulder injury, has put in a lot of work this summer.” Because of the extra year of eligibility gained from playing during the 2020 campaign due to COVID-19, there are almost a dozen players taking advantage of an additional “senior year,” including Lester. “Will we win any more games or lose any more games because I’m on the team? I’m not sure, but I do know I make a positive impact especially behind the scenes that a lot of people don’t see, and I take pride in that contribution,” said Lester. “I believe in the staff. I believe in all the guys that came back and came together and said, ‘Hey, we’re going to change how we’re viewed in the SEC, and we want to win.’ I want to be a part of that, and I know we’re going to have a good year this year. “What people will really remember from us from last year is how we played and battled against Alabama. I think you’ll see that passion and fire from us this year every game. “I think you’ll see it a lot more this year because we went through a lot of challenges in the offseason, and you’ll see a new and improved and more passionate team across the board. We're underdogs right now and that’s how we want it. Many people are predicting us to finish below .500; we’re ready to prove a lot of people wrong.” During Lester’s time at Auburn, while graduating with a degree in finance in May 2021, and now getting an MBA, Barton Lester has made a name for himself, on and off the field. “My MBA should be completed this fall, so I will be graduating in December with that master’s and certificates in Cyber Security and Information Systems Management. I don‘t have specific career goals yet, but I will put the same effort and attitude that I grew up with and sharpened at Auburn into my role in the work force,” he said. “I’m confident if I can do that, then I will be successful and living a life that reflects Christ and brings Him glory.” But first, his senior season awaits. “This place means a lot to me and I’ve made it one of my main goals to leave Auburn better than I found it, because Auburn has done so much for me. “Even though my playing role isn’t as much as some other guys, influencing in other ways around the team is where I try to leave a mark. Getting to play and be part of this team is a dream come true, so thank you, Auburn! This year will be one to remember.” Cambrie Berard is a student assistant in Auburn Athletics media relations

Bryan Harsin hires former NFL Scout Cole Brown to be the Assistant Director of Player Personel Andrew Stefaniak 2-3 minutes Auburn head football coach Bryan Harsin has made another off-field coaching staff addition. Coach Harsin and recently hired Drew Fabianich brought on Cole Brown to join the Auburn staff. Brown will take on the role of Assistant Director of Player Personnel. He spent most of his career with the New York Giants as a scout. Brown was most recently on staff at Michigan State but has left that job to be on staff at Auburn. Fabianich has made it clear that he wants to bring on some great people who understand the game of football to help the team scout and recruit. Fabianich has done just that by bringing Brown on the staff. Many Auburn fans don't see the hard work the off-field coaches put in to help the Auburn team be the best they can be. Many coaches in these positions, like Brown and Fabianich, help Coach Harsin find the recruits that the team will pursue. One nice thing about Brown and Fabianich is that they both have experience scouting and coaching in the NFL. This means they know the game at its highest level, and it should be an easy transition for them to do their job at the college level. This helps Coach Harsin because he is so busy helping prepare the team for the season that he needs coaches to help him find the players to recruit. The fact that Coach Harsin and Fabianich are working so hard to bring in the best scouting and recruiting personnel possible is very exciting. We don't often hear about this, so Auburn working hard to have the best off-field staff will help Coach Harsin have the best product on the field. Hopefully, Coach Harsin and Fabianich will continue to bring on these staff members to help Auburn compete with the powerhouse schools on the recruiting trail. Engage with Auburn Daily on Socials!

jj you have been nice to me lately and i almost did not post this but you do remember who you voted for right? grins

Green Monster terrace among renovations approved for Auburn’s Plainsman Park By Tom Green | tgreen@al.com 4-5 minutes Feb 9, 2020; Auburn, AL, USA; View of Easton baseball equipment used by the Auburn Tigers baseball team at Plainsman Park. Mandatory Credit: Shanna Lockwood/AU Athletics Shanna Lockwood/AU Athletics Plainsman Park will soon be getting a makeover -- including seating atop the stadium’s iconic Green Monster in left field. Auburn’s Board of Trustees on Tuesday, during a special meeting called by Governor Kay Ivey, approved renovations to Plainsman Park in order “to provide an enhanced fan experience” and to ensure Auburn’s baseball facilities stay competitive within the SEC and nationally among the nation’s top programs. “We’re thrilled and thankful that the Auburn University leadership approved the next phase of upgrades to Plainsman Park,” Auburn coach Butch Thompson said. “I believe in our student-athletes and their families, our staff, our fans, and our university, who have all played a role in getting us where we are today. With an already tremendous footprint of our ballpark, these enhancements will provide our fans with one-of-a-kind experiences in college baseball. They will allow us to continue to put our best foot forward as a program and build on the current momentum.” Among the improvements coming to Plainsman Park, which first opened in 1950, is a Green Monster terrace area that will provide a “unique viewing area” atop the park’s 30-foot marquee feature in left field. That part of the project will also include improved concessions and restroom areas to support the fans in left field. The renovations to Plainsman Park also include a first base club, which will expand the first-base stands, with premium seating, a club space, concessions and improved accessibility from the south entrance for the stadium and the future Player Performance Terrace. The third prong of the upgrades to Plainsman Park will come in right field, where a right-field terrace will be created by expanding the first-base stands over the Player Performance Development facility, with premium seating and an enhanced concessions experience. Cooke Douglass Farr Lemons, a firm out of Jackson, Miss., was previously approved last fall as the architect for Plainsman Park’s Development Center -- Phase II project, which was initially approved in September. Since then, the Board of Trustees decided a more comprehensive set of improvements was necessary for Plainsman Park. Construction for the project -- which will be paid for through bonds, gifts and athletics department funds -- is not expected to begin until after the 2023 season. The approval of the new upgrades to Plainsman Park come on the heels of another successful season for Thompson’s program. The Tigers advanced to the College World Series for the second time in the last three postseasons, earning the program’s first win in Omaha, Neb., since 1997. Auburn finished the year 43-22 overall in Thompson’s seventh season as head coach. “Enthusiasm for Auburn baseball has never been higher,” Auburn athletics director Allen Greene said. “Coach Butch Thompson, his staff and student-athletes have achieved remarkable, sustained success, including two trips to Omaha in the past three postseasons. These improvements will help Auburn baseball continue its trajectory toward a national championship while elevating the fan experience at Plainsman Park. We appreciate the Auburn University Board of Trustees for the vision, leadership and commitment to help the baseball program reach and remain at the top.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group.
