🔼 First Football, Then the World. Most Americans are aware of the work of agricultural pioneer George Washington Carver at nearby Tuskegee University, just 30 minutes from the Auburn campus.

But few have embraced Carver’s legacy like Auburn defensive lineman Godwin Owolabi, a Tuskegee native who is mapping out his own promising career involving agriculture, science and technology.

Carver taught and conducted research at Tuskegee Institute for 47 years, beginning in 1896 until his death in 1943. Famous for his research into the many uses for peanuts, sweet potatoes, soybeans, pecans and other Southern crops, he was one of the pioneers in the science of crop rotation and the land management of fields that were nutrient-depleted from overuse in cotton growing.

Carver was among those who introduced the extension service and mobile classrooms for farmers to the state of Alabama and his research into plant diseases and chemurgy developed many crop-based substitutes for commercial agricultural products.

Owolabi, an all-region lineman at Booker T. Washington High (named for the first teacher/principal at Tuskegee University in 1881), joined the Auburn football team as a walk-on prior to the 2022 season, a decision that he says was inevitable.

“I chose Auburn because I’ve been a fan of the school and the sports program since I was a little kid,” Owolabi said. “I love being part of the football program.”

In the classroom, Owolabi – who is studying in the College of Agriculture – has goals that are even bigger.

“My major is biological and agricultural technology management – that used to be agricultural engineering,” he said. “We do a lot of things in this field. You can do programming like AutoCad and Autodesk Civil 3D, which is like scale mapping. We also use ArcGIS, a program that shows maps of everything. It syncs with topographical maps, so in the case of rainfall, they can tell where the water’s going to flow and which places are most likely to flood.

“We work with water filtration, what keeps our water clean and how we can conserve more of it. We also work with farming technology. For instance, take tractors – we would look at the technology to make them more fuel efficient.”

His interest in this field was sparked at a young age.

“I used to be in 4-H in Tuskegee,” Olowabi said. “A project at the local high school was a greenhouse project where we grew collard greens and other vegetables and cold crops. In 4-H, we studied a lot of things, went on field trips, and I’ve always been a fan of technology. So, my advisor told me this major was a combination of the two.”

Read the feature for more on Owolabi’s passion about teaching this way of life to children, more on his thoughts about Carver and his dedication to sustainability.

🔼 Beam Us Up. The first National Qualifying Score rankings were released this week and the Auburn gymnastics team stands at No. 14 with a 197.125.
 
The NQS rankings take the top six scores, dropping the highest before adding the next five and finding the average. Three of the five scores added together must be on the road.
 
Auburn's beam squad is ranked tenth nationally with a 49.275 NQS. The vault team is 16th at 49.215. The floor crew is 17th with a 49.375 and bars 24th with an NQS of 49.165.
 
Individually, fifth-year Cassie Stevens bumped up to 14th in the all-around with an NQS of 39.500.
