Good Morning, Auburn Family. If you had asked senior tight end Rivaldo Fairweather in high school where he thought he would be in four years, he would have said playing basketball and preparing for the NBA. Now, in his second year as a student-athlete in the Southeastern Conference, Fairweather is looking to seal his name in the Auburn record book … for football. 

Fairweather, who won the Pat Sullivan Award as the 2023 outstanding player on offense, wants to build off last season. He totaled six touchdown catches for the Tigers, including scores in SEC wins over Arkansas and Vanderbilt and the game-winning touchdown at California.

Read “On the Plains With Rivaldo Fairweather” for more on him finding his home at Auburn after Florida International University, what he’s learned from Coach Freeze and his planned graduation in December.
