Good Morning, Auburn Family. Auburn and the rest of the SEC have learned their home and away matchups for the 2025-26 women’s basketball season.

The format will remain a 16-game league schedule with eight games apiece at home and on the road. Each team will play 14 single games against conference opponents and will have one home-and-home opponent that will rotate each season. Auburn’s home-and-home opponent for 2025-26 will be Florida.

The Tigers will play host to Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Tennessee next season.

🎥 WAREAGLE+: SENIOR FEATURE

🔼 These Honors Roll Deep. An astounding eighteen Tigers received All-America honors after successful performances at the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships.  

The team was represented by 13 individuals in 12 different events and two relays last weekend at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships.  

The top eight individual finishers and relay teams in their respective events took home First-Team All-America honors; Second-Team All-America honors went to those who finished between ninth and 16th. Honorable mention went to the student-athletes who placed 17th through 24th in their respective events.  

🔼 Gift From the Gators Auburn softball co-head coaches Chris and Kate Malveaux announced the signing of sophomore outfielder Kylie Shaw for the upcoming 2026 season.

No stranger to the SEC, Shaw heads to the Plains after spending her freshman season at Florida. Shaw graduated from Evangelical Christian High School as a junior and reclassified to be able to join the Gators for the 2025 season. She primarily served as Florida’s top pinch runner, scoring 14 runs over the season. Shaw led Evangelical Christen to the 2024 Class 2A State Championship and earned first team all-state honors.

🔼 Blaydes A Deux. Auburn has signed Georgia transfer Freddy Blaydes, head coach Bobby Reynolds announced on Tuesday. Blaydes will join the Tigers for the 2025-26 season after competing for two seasons at Georgia, becoming teammates with his older brother, rising senior Billy Blaydes.

During his freshman season in Athens, Blaydes went 16-10 overall in doubles his freshman season and posted an 18-10 overall doubles record in his sophomore campaign. Prior to his time in college, he held a career-high ITF Junior World Ranking of No. 117 and made the second round of singles and doubles at Junior Wimbledon in 2023.

🔼 The Studious Six. Katie Cranston, Anna Davis, Olivia Greaves, Sophia Groth, Julianne Huff and Carys Worby have each been named to the CSC At-Large Academic All-District team. Greaves, Groth and Huff are members of the Auburn gymnastics team while Cranston, Davis and Worby compete for the Tigers’ women’s golf team.

🔼 On Par With the Best. Two Auburn men’s golfers—Carson Bacha and Josiah Gilbert—have been awarded CSC Academic All-District Honors. The Academic All-District Team recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the course and in the classroom.

Bacha, an outgoing senior, graduated from Auburn with a 3.60 GPA in finance. He was named to the Academic All-District Team in 2023 and earned GCAA All-American Scholar status in 2023 and 2024. Gilbert, a rising junior studying communication, earned CSC honors with a 3.65 GPA. It is the first academic award he’s received as a Tiger. Both men were selected as finalists by the CSC committee and will advance to the Academic All-America ballot.

🧐 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: Tracy Rocker!

Yes, we offered a bit of foreshadowing above! Tracy Rocker was the first player from the SEC to win the Lombardi Award, doing so while playing defensive tackle for Auburn in 1988. In the same year, he also won the Outland Trophy, making him the first SEC player to win both prestigious awards. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2004.

🐅 Happy Wednesday, Auburn Fam!
