Auburn is getting its top receiving threat back for the 2024 season.
Tight end [autotag]Rivaldo Fairweather[/autotag] made it official Monday, announcing he would be back for a second season on the Plains instead of entering the NFL draft.
Fairweather became Auburn’s top receiver during his first season on the Plains, leading the team in receptions (33), yards (349) and touchdowns (6). He was named to the AP’s All-SEC second team for his work.
He is setting high expectations for himself next season.
“I just felt like I left a lot of food on the table,” Fairweather said. “It’s unfinished business here. I know Coach (Hugh) Freeze has a great plan for us here and that we will be way better than we were last year. Last year was just the first step and this year I feel like we’re going to take a second step and definitely make that 12-team playoff for next year.”
He joins defensive back [autotag]Keionte Scott[/autotag] and linebacker [autotag]Euegen Asante[/autotag] as key contributors to announce their return for the 2024 season.
Unfinished Business. https://t.co/RqctFbAYrv
