Rivaldo Fairweather

AUBURN, Ala.  Auburn’s Rivaldo Fairweather has been named to the preseason watch list for the John Mackey Award, presented annually to college football’s most outstanding tight end.

A 6-4, 252-pound senior from Lauderhill, Florida, Fairweather excelled in 2023 on the Plains after transferring to Auburn from Florida International.

He led the Tigers a year ago with 38 catches for 394 yards, setting Auburn’s single-season tight end receptions record.

Fairweather’s six touchdowns in 2023 were one fewer than Philip Lutzenkirchen’s Auburn season record.
