Eric Singleton Jr. and Cam Coleman named to Biletnikoff Award watch list
It is watch list season and a couple of Auburn wide receivers are catching notice. Both Eric Singleton Jr. and Cam Coleman were named to the 2025 Biletnikoff Award watch list on Wednesday. The award began in 1994, and an Auburn wide receiver has never taken home the honor. Both Singleton and Coleman will look to change that on what should be an improved offense.
This season will be the first with the Tigers for Singleton. He played his first two seasons for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets from the ACC. Over those two years, Singleton caught 104 passes for 1,468 yards and nine touchdowns. He entered the transfer portal as the top-rated receiver before heading to Auburn. Pro Football Focus has Singleton ranked as their No. 24 prospect for the 2026 NFL Draft. They see Singleton as a player that can hit a home run at any point due to his track speed. A receiver that can take the top off a defense is exactly what the Tigers offense will need for new quarterback Jackson Arnold.
Anyone who follows Auburn football knows that Coleman is capable of. They knew it when he was putting up big numbers not too far away at Central Phenix City playing high school football. His freshman season for Auburn started out slowly, but he was playing at a high level as the 2024 season ended. Last season, Coleman caught 37 passes for 598 yards and eight touchdowns in ten games played. In the final three games of the season, he caught 22 passes for 306 yards and five touchdowns. In his first seven games, Coleman had just 15 receptions for 292 yards and three touchdowns. Auburn fans are hoping he can continue how he finished the 2024 season.
It will be interesting and fun to see if both Singleton and Coleman are able to stay on the watchlist throughout the season. However, they are not the only capable receivers on the team. Sophomore Malcolm Simmons is a talented player, and Perry Thompson has the potential to make an impact as well. The passing game should flourish with this group of receivers this season.

Tigers' Wenceel Perez exits Saturday's game vs. Angels
Tigers' Wenceel Perez exits Saturday's game vs. Angels originally appeared on The Sporting News Detroit Tigers' starting outfielder Wenceel Perez was removed from Saturday's game vs. the Los Angeles Angels after the fourth inning, Evan Woodbery reported. Perez fouled a pitch off his right leg in the second frame before hitting a triple, but he looked 'like he was running a bit stiffly' when he singled in his next at-bat. Zach McKinstry entered the game at shortstop and Javier Baez moved to center field in the fifth. The Tigers would end up losing to the Angels, 7-4, at Comerica Park. The game was tied at 4-4 when Detroit removed Perez, who scored the Tigers' first run after Andy Ibanez's RBI single brought him home from third in the second inning. While Detroit has struggled over the past few weeks—seeing their 15-game lead in the AL Central shrink to six entering Saturday's game—Perez has excelled over his last ten games since July 29. During that span, he's hitting .424 (14-for-33) with six extra-base hits (two home runs) and three stolen bases. The Tigers need that type of production down the stretch with the Cleveland Guardians breathing down their necks. Perez has already spent time on the injured list this year due to lumbar spine inflammation and didn't make his season debut until May 27. Detroit will hope his injury this time around isn't nearly that serious. The 25-year-old signed with the Tigers as an international free agent in 2016 and made his Major League debut in 2024. Perez has drastically improved in several categories from his rookie year, hitting .267/.321/.492 with 9 homers and 25 RBI over 58 games in 2025.

Placer High sells pieces of historic gym floor after renovation
After decades of wear from basketball, volleyball, wrestling, and community events, Placer High School's iconic Earl Crabbe Gym is getting a major renovation, and fans will soon have a chance to take home a piece of history. The school recently replaced its original hardwood floor, a project costing $242,000 and marking the final phase of the gym's renovation. To celebrate, the school will sell sections of the old floor on August 23 from 9 to 11 a.m. at the campus in Auburn. Prices will range from $50 to $100, with proceeds going directly back into the school's athletics program for transportation, uniforms, and equipment. Athletic Director Mike Sabins said the updates honor the gym's legacy while making it game-ready for the future. "We kept the same design from before with a few tweaks," Sabins said. "We tried to respect the building and keep it as original as possible." The gym's Hillmen sideline lettering has been preserved, with one section repurposed inside the press box. The school also plans to mount the iconic center-court "P" to keep it on display. The new floor features a fresh stain, making it slightly darker and more aged in appearance compared to the bright finish of many modern gym floors. "It's going to be an awesome venue," Sabins said. "People are going to really like it." Pieces of the historic floor will vary in size, from 15-by-15-inch squares to 3-foot sections. For Auburn locals, it's more than just old wood, it's a piece of decades of Hillmen history.
