🔼 Ballin’ In Boutwell. Auburn men’s basketball has scheduled a preseason game against Oklahoma State, set for October 15 at 7 p.m. in Birmingham’s Boutwell Auditorium. The Tigers have played five games in Birmingham under Bruce Pearl. Click here to purchase tickets!

🔼 Talking Season. It’s time to talk Auburn football! Juniors Keldric Faulk, Connor Lew, and Jackson Arnold will join head coach Hugh Freeze at SEC Media Days in Atlanta. Auburn ambassadors will take the podium on Tuesday, July 15.

🔼 Lest You Forget … Football’s Comin’ in Hot. In honor of the countdown to Auburn football season being down to 5️⃣1️⃣ days, we take a look back at former linebacker Barton Lester, No. 51, who walked on in 2019. Barton made a name for himself during the 2020 season when he recovered a blocked punt for a touchdown against Arkansas in his first game action. He chose to transfer to Auburn after spending 2017 and 2018 at the Air Force Academy.

🔼 From The Plains To The Pros. Tiger soccer alum Mallory Mooney signed her first professional contract with Apollon Ladies FC, the top women’s pro soccer team in Cyprus! She becomes the fourth Tiger to join the pro ranks this year.

“Signing my first professional contract is such a surreal feeling. I have dreamed of this my whole life, and it’s amazing to see all the hard work paying off. Auburn soccer played a huge part in achieving this goal. My coaches, staff and teammates helped create an environment that pushed me to grow every day, and I am so grateful for that. I wouldn’t be here without my Auburn family.”

- Mallory Mooney
