Bodda Getta Daily Brew 10/23: Legen...Wait For It...Dary

Former Auburn offensive lineman Marcus McNeill is the Tigers' 2024 SEC Football Legend

Good Morning, Tigers. Former Auburn offensive lineman Marcus McNeill has been selected as the Tigers’ 2024 SEC Football Legend, the Southeastern Conference announced Tuesday.

In 2004, the two-time All-American offensive tackle helped pave the way for one of the best offenses in program history while winning the SEC Championship with an undefeated season. That season, McNeill became the first Tiger offensive lineman to receive All-America honors since 1997 and was a consensus All-American as a senior in 2005.

Go here for more on McNeill’s accomplishments and when he will be honored. Head to X/Twitter to hear McNeill get the news.

🔼  What’s Eating Gilbert? Nada. Auburn men’s golf sophomore Josiah Gilbert’s third-place individual finish highlighted a great week for the No. 2 Tigers at Eagle Point Golf Club’s The Williams Cup. It is Gilbert’s second top-five finish over his last three starts. The team concluded the tournament shooting 12-under-par to finish third on Tuesday afternoon. Auburn has yet to finish outside the top three as a team through four tournaments this fall season. 

Next, Auburn turns its attention to the prestigious East Lake Cup in Atlanta, Georgia. The four-team tournament honors the final four teams from the previous year’s NCAA Championship—Auburn, Florida State, Ohio State and Georgia Tech. 

🔼 The Real Deal. Auburn senior tight end Luke Deal has been named a semifinalist for the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year. One of 20 semifinalists and one of six from the SEC, Deal remains in contention for the eighth annual Witten Award, which honors exemplary leadership by college football players.

A two-time captain for the Tigers, Deal is also the team’s leader in the community, where he regularly volunteers with Project 412, an organization that provides home repairs to those in need, as well as events like school supply distributions, food giveaways and holiday toy drives.

Go here for more on Deal’s many accomplishments on and off the field.
