[autotag]Rivaldo Fairweather[/autotag] is the latest Auburn Tiger to make the watch list for a prestigious award. Auburn’s tight end was named to the John Mackey Award watch list on Friday, the Friends of John Mackey announced.
Fairweather is entering his first season on the Plains but impressed in his three seasons at FIU, catching 54 passes for 838 yards and five touchdowns. The 6-4, 251-pounder has the athletic ability to be a difference-maker in the passing game and has a knack for making big gains, he averaged 15.5 yards per catch for FIU, and with more targets, he has a chance to help turn around Auburn’s passing attack.
The John Mackey Award has been presented annually since 2000 to the most outstanding collegiate tight end and is voted on by the John Mackey Award Selection Committee.
