Good Morning, Tigers. Auburn basketball fans will see two Cardwells on the court this season at Neville Arena.

Dylan, a fifth-year center and fan favorite, and his younger brother, Drake, a redshirt freshman walk-on shooting guard.

Drake’s path to the Plains detoured last year through Kennesaw State, where Drake’s plans to walk on ran into a roadblock when the Owls’ roster was full.

Undaunted, Drake became a practice player helping KSU’s women’s team for a few months before playing pickup games on Fridays with his FedEx coworkers, who encouraged him to give college hoops another try.

While Drake considered his options, Dylan considered his own. After graduating with honors from the Harbert College of Business and helping Auburn win the 2022 SEC regular-season championship and the 2024 SEC Tournament title, Dylan considered entering the NBA Draft before returning for a fifth season on the Plains.

🔼 The Gift That Keeps On Giving. For the first football season since childhood, Elijah McAllister spectates instead of participating.

“It’s tough not to be able to play and impact the game,” said McAllister, an Auburn team captain last season after transferring from Vanderbilt. “There’s no better place to settle those feelings than here in Auburn because the love I get from the fans, the administration, and the athletes is second to none, and I’m so glad to be back here.”

During Auburn’s game against Arkansas Saturday, McAllister received the 2024 Cliff Hare Award, presented annually since 1958 to a senior student-athlete for academic and athletic success as well as leadership, integrity and courage.
