🔼 Birds Flying High. Former Tiger Ike Irish turned his walkup song, “Birds Flying High,” into reality as he signed with the Baltimore Orioles just five days after the MLB Draft. He became Auburn’s fifth highest-drafted player in program history.
“It was always Auburn. I stepped on campus and it was love at first sight. The coaching staff really stood out to me. They developed guys into high draft picks, good people and good players.”

🔼 Senior Spotlight. Auburn senior Dillon Wade has played every position on the offensive line, except for center - a position he takes reps in in his free time. His versatility may be what secures his spot in the NFL when the time comes. Wade is expected to move to left guard this fall, where he played six games last season.

🔼 Show Off. If you pass by Neville Arena, you’ll see something new! The arena got some new decor over the weekend. There’s no way you’ll miss the Final Four banner next time you stop by!

🔼 Shining Silver. Women’s tennis senior Angella Okutoyi earned a silver medal in mixed doubles at the 2025 FISU World University Games in Essen, Germany. She also claimed the women’s tennis team bronze medal for Kenya. Individually, Okutoyi reached the round of 16 in singles.
