In today's edition of Auburn Tigers News, 14 players are selected for the Senior Bowl watchlist and the Tigers offer JUCO defensive lineman Kelten Mickell

As Auburn football prepares for year two under head coach Hugh Freeze, the Reese's Senior Bowl staff are preparing for this year's event in Mobile, AL. Ahead of the 2024 season, they've released the official watchlist for the 2025 Senior Bowl, and 14 Tigers have caught the attention of executive director Jim Nagy.

  • Eugene Asante - LB
  • Oscar Chapman - P
  • Rivaldo Fairweather - TE
  • Jarquez Hunter - RB
  • Jayson Jones - DL
  • Austin Keys - LB
  • KeAndre Lambert-Smith - WR
  • Robert Lewis - WR
  • Percy Lewis - OL
  • Jalen McLeod - DL
  • Keionte Scott - DB
  • Jerrin Thompson - DB
  • Payton Thorne - QB
  • Dillon Wade - OL

Last year, there were also 14 Tigers on the preseason watchlist, and ultimately four of them accepted invites to participate in the game: Jaylin Simpson, Nehemiah Pritchett, DJ James, and Marcus Harris. All four participants went on to get drafted in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Tigers offer JUCO defensive lineman Kelten Mickell

Earlier this week, the Auburn football coaching staff extended an offer to junior college defensive lineman Kelten Mickell. Set to graduate this December, Mickell will spend the next few months making his decision and will have two years of eligibility left.

In 2023, Mickell started every game for Jones College and was named First-Team All-MACCC for his contributions. The offers continue to roll in for Mickell, who is currently most focused on Georgia, South Carolina, and Miami aside from his Auburn offer.

Mickell told Auburn Live he would like to set up a visit to attend a home game in Jordan-Hare sometime this fall, and he hopes to have an official decision sometime in October.
