Spring breakdown: Experience is key in Auburn’s tight end room

Rivaldo Fairweather, Brandon Frazier, and Luke Deal return to lead a group of experienced tight ends into the spring session.

It is strange to hear even months after the 2023 season ended, but Auburn’s leading receiver last season was a tight end.

FIU transfer Rivaldo Fairweather was a bright spot in Auburn’s offense last season, as he became a reliable receiving threat for Auburn quarterbacks, as he was the Tigers’ most-targeted receiver.

Despite being the Tigers’ leading receiver last season, Fairweather was left unsatisfied with how the season played out. He told Justin Ferguson of the Auburn Observer that he has business to take care of in 2024.

I just felt like I left a lot of food on the table. It’s unfinished business here,” Fairweather said after Auburn’s loss to Maryland in the Music City Bowl. “I know Coach (Hugh) Freeze has a great plan for us here and that we will be way better than we were last year.”

Outside of Fairweather, Auburn has several players at tight end that could make an impact this season. Here is a rundown of every tight end on Auburn’s roster ahead of A-Day.
