AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn Football has extended its subscription with Monarc for usage of the Seeker, locking in the robotic quarterback for multiple years after seeing its impact on the development of the program’s student-athletes.
The Seeker, developed and produced by Monarc, is the world's first robotic quarterback. With endless game-like passes, punts and kicks, it generates unlimited practice opportunities and enables players to get the reps they need on offense, defense and special teams.
“The Monarch Seeker is versatile, effective, and our athletes love training on it — it’s a big part of how Auburn football prepares every week,” Auburn Football General Manager Andrew Warsaw said. “The Seeker is Elite in every way.”
Created to satisfy players' demands for high-volume reps, the Seeker is the world's first technology that allows footballs to be thrown to receivers without the help of someone continually feeding the machine. In addition, the machine can track athletes' positions on the field to throw the ball at a specific speed, at a specific location on the field and at a specific spot on the player's body.
The speed is adjustable but can reach as high as 75 mph for punt and kickoff work.
The Seeker has a user-friendly touchscreen interface along with a six-ball magazine that allows you to throw, punt or kick up to six balls in twelve seconds with pinpoint accuracy, eliminating wasted reps while drastically increasing practice efficiency.
"We have been impressed with everything it can do for players,” Warsaw said. “We can control placement, trajectory and distance to create the exact reps our players need, and every position group has found a way to use it.”
Auburn originally introduced the Seeker to its program in 2022.
