Tre Mason
If you’re an Auburn football fan and Tre Mason isn’t one of your all-time favorite Tigers, there’s something wrong with you.
At 5-9, 205, Mason’s career on the Plains started slow, took off and then shot into the stratosphere.
As a freshman, he ran 28 times for 161 yards and a touchdown. Not bad.
In 2012, he kept the 1,000-yard rusher streak intact when he rushed for five yards on the final play of Alabama’s 49-0 rout of the Tigers.
Here’s more of what he did for the Tigers:
- Ran for 1,816 yards and 23 touchdowns as a junior and was a Heisman Trophy finalist.
- Named All-American and All-SEC running back in 2013 when Auburn reached the BCS title game.
- Ranked sixth all-time in Auburn history with 2,979 rushing yards.
