TAMPA, Fla. — During an Auburn football scrimmage this spring at Jordan-Hare Stadium, the program shared a snippet of one quarterback chatting with another. Those passers were Cam Newton and Byrum Brown, bridging generations of the program at one position.
The former doesn't need much introduction. He was a Heisman Trophy-winner and national champion on the Plains. The latter has yet to play a meaningful snap as a Tiger, but after helping South Florida turn around the past three seasons, he'll strive to do the same for his new home.
Stadium music drowned out all other noise in their 20-second introduction, but at SEC Media Days, Brown shared what the message was from one of Auburn's most-heralded former players.
"It was just go out there and be you," Brown said Tuesday, July 21. "Be a dog, and that's really it. Just go out there and be a dog and, like, you did at the past institution, will this team to victory."
Brown spent four seasons in total with the Bulls, but he was their starting quarterback for all three seasons of coach Alex Golesh's tenure.
