"I just want to show the people the reason why I came here . . . Auburn's secondary has received a lot of praise from players and coaches over the past few weeks. The unit was a major question mark going into the spring, but all signs point toward it being a strength going into the summer . . . It seems that he now has the power in his kicks back, and that is good news for the Tigers . . . WATCH: Today's practice was opened up to the media for a brief viewing window to get another look at the Tigers . . . The Tigers' defense has been one of the stronger units throughout spring practices . . . "I'd say we've made tremendous progress, but as an offensive line, it's never enough . . . It will be interesting to see how this group of players perform at A-Day on Saturday, Apr. 18 inside Jordan-Hare . . . Another tough test ahead of Auburn softball as they travel to Gainesville to take on a top-10 opponent in Florida . . . The Tigers will face No. 2 Texas A&M at noon CT at the Headington Family Tennis Center for a chance to punch their ticket to the event's finals . . . Oboye comes to Auburn after spending three seasons at Santa Clara and provides an immediate boost to the Tigers' frontcourt . . . Oboye is the first player to join the Tigers from the transfer portal . . . "We absolutely have been through a lot. The good, the bad, the ugly, everywhere in between . . .

The Tigers will go with the pitching rotation of Andreas Alvarez, Jake Marciano, and Alex Petrovic for this weekend's series in Gainesville . . . The Tigers were dominant from the opening pitch . . . Auburn is bringing back both its backcourt starters, Pettiford and Overton, but reserve guards Kaden Magwood and Abdul Bashir entered the transfer portal . . . This pitching staff has been good enough to win just about every time out. It's time for the offense to give them a little more consistent support . . .

Other stadium-wide improvements include five new entry gates, 66 new concession points of sale, 13 elevators and 270 restroom fixtures . . . The combined cost of the two projects are expected to be just over $320 million with the expected finish date sometime in early 2029 . . . Under the new proposal, which must be approved by the Division I Cabinet when it meets in June to become official, the season would be on the Thursday of what is now Week 0 and end on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Each team would have two open dates each season (due to a quirk in the schedule, that was the case in 2025, but won't be in 2026) . . . |
