🔼 Wading Into Tiger Territory. Getting to the Plains has been a long one for senior offensive lineman Dillon Wade, filled with challenges. But it has been a process that has taught him valuable life lessons. 

“Playing football has taught me how to handle adversity,” Wade said. “Everyone says that, but it’s so true. It’s a sport where you’re going to have battles every day, and you have to learn to just not give up—to keep fighting to get to where you want to be.”

🔼 She’s a Keeper. When fifth-year senior Maddie Prohaska first announced she would play soccer at Auburn, she received mixed reactions.

“It’s a big difference when you’re from Ohio, that’s Big Ten territory,” she explained. “When I said I was going to Auburn, the first question was: ‘What state is that in?’”

The eventual 2020 SEC All-Freshman Team member branched outward to begin her collegiate career. At 17, Prohaska made the jump down south with the support of her family, teammates and coaches.
