Auburn baseball vs. NC State: Live coverage of the Auburn Regional final
The matchup for the Auburn Regional final is set.
The host Auburn Tigers will battle NC State for the right to claim the Auburn Regional championship and to advance to the Super Regionals next weekend. Auburn advanced to the regional championship game by beating Stetson in the winner's bracket game on Saturday night, 8-5.
The Tigers and Hatters matched each other in the hit column by logging 12 each, but Auburn's ability to stretch their hits over multiple bases led them to victory. Auburn recorded eight doubles in the win over Stetson, with seven of those resulting in Auburn runs.
NC State knocked off Stetson Sunday afternoon, 17-12, to claim the second seat in the regional final. The Hatters trailed NC State, 4-3, in the 4th inning before sending home five runs over the 5th and 6th innings to steal the lead. The Wolfpack bounced back by scoring 10 runs in the 8th inning to regain momentum. Stetson added four runs in the bottom of the 8th to trim the NC State lead to 15-12, but could not mount another comeback strong enough to seal the win as NC State added two more insurance runs in the 9th inning to secure the win.

Former Auburn linebacker Wesley Steiner signs contract with Seahawks
Another former Auburn Tiger has joined the Seattle Seahawks. Linebacker turned fullback Wesley Steiner, who spent three seasons on the Plains, signed a contract with Seattle earlier this week. The former Tiger finished his college career at Washington State following four years of sporadic playing time as a Tiger. A full-time linebacker in college, the 6-foot, 235-pound Steiner will switch from the defensive backfield to the offensive backfield as a professional. A native of Warner Robins, GA, Steiner was collegiate teammates with current Seahawks Derick Hall and Nehemiah Pritchett. Former Tiger teammate D.J James was also signed by Seattle after the 2024 NFL Draft being being waived and landing on New England's Practice Squad. While his chances at making the team as a defensive player may have been dull, Steiner does have a decent path to a roster spot as a fullback if the former Tiger can show his value on special teams. Other than himself, Seattle's only other true fullback on the roster is fellow first-year player Robbie Ouzts. With current backup fullback Brady Russell's football experience coming exclusively from the offensive side, Steiner's defensive background may give him a leg up, at least in the versatility category, in the competition for a spot on the 53-man roster. In four years at Auburn and a season at Washington State, Steiner accumulated 96 total tackles and a forced fumble. His best season came in 2022, when he contributed 46 total tackles for Auburn, including 10 and 11 against Ole Miss and LSU, respectively.

Auburn basketball 2026 targets Caleb Holt and Anthony Thompson in ESPN top 25 ranking
There is a time for Auburn basketball that it was a dream to have a top 25 prospect want to come to their school. Now it is the expectation. A decade into his tenure as Auburn head coach, it is still astonishing at what Bruce Pearl has turned the basketball program into. Two players the Tigers are interested in adding to the program in 2026 are five-star Caleb Holt and Anthony Thompson. Recently, Paul Biancardi of ESPN ranked the top 25 high school basketball players. His ranking is not just limited to the 2026 recruiting class but all of high school basketball. Holt is the highest-ranking Auburn target on the list. The small forward is ranked No. 6. According to Biancardi, Holt uses speed and quickness on both sides of the court. He is a more skilled defensive player but is improving on offense. Holt is rated as the top player in Florida and the No. 6 player nationally according to 247Sports. Thompson, another small forward, comes in at No. 17 in the ranking. ESPN projects him at No. 13 in their 2026 ESPN 100 ranking. Thompson is ranked at No. 10 by 247Sports and the No. 1 player in Ohio. His height is 6-8 but his wingspan is much longer. With his shooting ability from the three-point line he could draw comparisons to Jabari Smith.

Auburn earns bowl nod in ESPN's preseason projections
After missing out on bowl season last year, the Auburn Tigers are poised to make another run at postseason play. What is a realistic expectation for the Tigers postseason fate? ESPN experts Kyle Bonagura and Mark Schlabach expect Auburn to meet up with an ACC team at season's end, but in two different destinations. Bonagura and Schlabach project the Tigers to face Boston College in postseason play, however, Bonagura has the Tigers and Eagles facing off in the Gasparilla Bowl on Friday, Dec. 19 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, while Schlabach forecasts Auburn facing Boston College closer to home in the Birmingham Bowl on Monday, Dec. 29. If this forecasted matchup were to take place, it would be a game against teams that are projected to barely cross the threshold into bowl eligibility. According to ESPN's Football Power Index, Auburn is projected to win 6.9 games while Boston College sits at 5.9. However, the two teams are on opposite paths in terms of postseason forecasts. Auburn has an 83.6% chance to win six games while Boston College has a 58.7% chance. For playoff consideration, Auburn has a 12% chance while Boston College has a less than 1% chance. Auburn football has lost seven games in each of the last four seasons, but the program is even more starved for a bowl win. The last bowl win the Tigers earned was in the 2018 season when Auburn boat raced Purdue in the Music City Bowl, 63-14. Since then, Auburn has lost four-straight postseason games, including its most recent game against Maryland in the 2023 Music City Bowl. The SEC is projected to be well represented in postseason play. ESPN's FPI gives 13 of 16 SEC teams at least 60% odds to reach the six wins needed to earn bowl eligibility, nine teams have 30% or greater odds to make the College Football Playoff, and three teams have at least an 11% chance to win the College Football National Championship.
