🥎 THE GRIT FACTOR

Go inside practice as Auburn softball prepared for the 2026 season.

🔼 Roster Reload. Auburn head football coach Alex Golesh has added 40 new players to the roster, including 13 from South Florida. The staff now shifts focus on the 2027 recruiting class, targeting elite prospects and emphasizing the opportunity to restore Auburn’s football legacy. Golesh believes that despite the revenue share and NIL era, young athletes still value relationships, accountability and development. Read more as the Tigers prepare for spring football!

🔼 Paint The Town Orange. Auburn men’s basketball hosts the Iron Bowl of basketball this weekend! They’ll play Alabama tomorrow at 3 p.m. CT on ESPN2. We’re painting Neville Arena orange and all students will receive orange t-shirts!

🔼 Country Night. The 12th-ranked gymnastics squad will host Kentucky tonight at 7 p.m. CT on SEC Network+. It’s Country Night in Neville Arena! There will be tiger print cowboy hats and Chick-fil-A sandwiches for students.

🔼 High In History. No. 5 Auburn men’s golf posted the second-best round in NCAA history in the opening round of the Amer Ari Invitational! They scored a program-record 32-under-par. Jackson Koivun led the Tigers with a 10-under performance.

🔼 On To The Next. Defensive struggles hurt Auburn softball as they fell at North Florida 11-3 last night. The defense committed five errors that led to six unearned runs. Kyla Stroud and Destiny Rodriguez turned in 2-for-3 performances at the plate.

The Tigers will play five games at the NFCA Leadoff Classic this weekend. They’ll play Notre Dame and Michigan State today, beginning at 4 p.m. Both games will stream for free on GameChanger.

🔼 Final Tune-Up The Auburn swimming & diving team hosts the Auburn Invite today and tomorrow at 10 a.m. CT. The meet will serve as a final tune-up before the SEC Championships. Fans in attendance will receive a rally towel!
