PFF ranks returning Auburn receivers rank among best in the nation
Two of those weapons, second-year Tiger Cam Coleman and incoming Georgia Tech transfer Eric Singleton Jr., are expected to be one of the most dangerous pass catching duos in the nation. PFF currently ranked the duo No. 6 and No. 5, respectively, in it's 'Top 10 Returning Wide Receivers for the 2025 Season' rankings this week. Singleton and Coleman are the only teammates to appear in the top 10.
They both trail only Alabama's Ryan Williams (No. 2 ) for the top spot in the conference, with Texas A&M's Kevin Concepcion (No. 8) and Florida's Eugene Wilson III (No. 10) rounding out the four SEC receivers tabbed in the top 10.
A 5-foot-11, 190 pound speed demon, Singleton Jr. buzzed his way to 1,468 yards and 9 touchdowns during his two seasons as a Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket. He's averaged just over 14 yards per reception throughout his college career, and leads all returning Power Four receivers with 664 receiving yards on deep balls since 2023. The Douglasville, Georgia native may be in store for even more room to operate in the deep half of the field this season with Cam Coleman lining up across the formation.
Coleman, who just missed out of the top 5 returning receivers according to PFF, is coming off one of the best first-year pass catching campaigns by a Tiger ever. The 6-foot-3 big bodied receiver accumulated 598 yards and 8 touchdowns during his first season of college football, with most of his production coming towards the end of the season. Coleman averaged 7.3 receptions, 102 yards, and 1.7 touchdowns during Auburn's final three game's against UL Monroe, Texas A&M, and Alabama, leading many to believe the freshman had finally unlocked his game-changing talent after an inconsistent, injury-ridden, start to his inaugural college football campaign.
Both Coleman and Singleton Jr. have proven they can become game changing players on the offensive side of the football. Whether both can coexist in the same offense, at least at an extremely high level, remains to be seen. Auburn fans will get their first look at one of the best pass catching duos in the country when spring practices begin in a few months.

Auburn claims 4 additional 'national championships' on its football resume
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Auburn is claiming four additional football national titles and will call itself a nine-time champion moving forward. The Tigers, for decades, boasted titles in 1957 and 2010. They also claimed the 1913, 1983 and 1993 seasons as meeting national championship qualifications. Now, though, athletic director John Cohen is adding titles from 1910, 1914, 1958 and 2004 to the program's resume. It's laudable by some and laughable by others. 'For too long, Auburn has chosen a humble approach to our program's storied history — choosing to recognize only Associated Press national championships,' Cohen told On3 for a story announcing the decision Tuesday. 'Starting this fall, we have made the decision to honor the accomplishments of our deserving student-athletes, coaches and teams from Auburn's proud history. 'Our visible national championship recognitions now align with the well-established standard used by the NCAA's official record book and our peers across the nation.' The Associated Press, which began handing out its annual national championship trophy in 1936, credits Auburn with two titles: 1957 and 2010. Banners recognizing those seasons hang inside Jordan-Hare Stadium. The other titles Auburn is claiming have varying degrees of validity. For example, the Bowl Championship Series existed in 2004, and the Tigers failed to make the title game. They finished 12-0 and third in the rankings behind undefeated USC and undefeated Oklahoma. Auburn finished second in the AP and the coaches' polls after the Trojans handled the Sooners in the title game. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here.

Alabama football starters named to 2025 Comeback Player of the Year watch list
With 11 days remaining until Alabama football's season opener at Florida State, two Crimson Tide starters were among those named to the 2025 Comeback Player of the Year watch list Tuesday. Fifth-year senior linebacker Deontae Lawson and junior defensive back Keon Sabb both made the list a year after injuries cut short their respective seasons a year ago. Lawson sustained a season-ending ACL injury in Alabama's 24-3 loss at Oklahoma on Nov. 23. In 11 games last season, he was second on the team in tackles with 76 (36 solo) and had seven tackles for loss, two sacks, four pass breakups, an interception and a forced fumble. Lawson was also named to the preseason watch list for the 2025 Bednarik Award, as well as the Butkus Award and Nagurski Trophy. Sabb, who officially transferred to Alabama from Michigan in February 2024, got off to a promising start last year but was limited to seven starts after a season-ending foot injury in Alabama's 24-17 loss at Tennessee on Oct. 19. Crimson Tide defensive coordinator Kane Wommack praised Sabb for being ahead of schedule earlier this month after fall camp opened. "Keon is doing a really good job," Wommack said back on Aug. 2. "He has really pushed. Our training staff's done a great job with him. I think he's ahead of really every marker that we had in the offseason for him, and we weren't sure if he was going to be able to go to the level that he's going right now at the beginning of fall camp, but he is and he's here. "I don't know if I could put a number on it exactly, but he's out there playing with our guys, so he's comfortable enough to be able to do that," Wommack added. "Sometimes those injuries, you just have to build a callous of coming back and I think that's something he's really pushing himself to right now to get ready for the season." Sabb recorded 39 tackles (24 solo), one tackle for loss, four pass breakups and two interceptions a year ago. Both interceptions came in the Crimson Tide's season-opening 63-0 win over Western Kentucky on Aug. 31. About the Comeback Player of the Year Award The Comeback Player of the Year is presented annually by College Sports Communications in association with the Associated Press (AP) and the Fiesta Bowl. Per the award's official website: "Since 2018, the Comeback Player of the Year Award watch list has been comprised of 75 student-athletes who overcame an injury, illness or other circumstance in the previous year. Each player returned to full health for the 2025 season and showcased their skills, helping their teams compete to their highest potential." Three players were awarded the Comeback Player of the Year in 2024: South Carolina running back Rocket Sanders, Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough, and Utah State defensive back Ike Larsen.
