Auburn Tigers head coach Hugh Freeze urges improved effort after a sluggish practice as team prepares for a crucial 2025 football season.

Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze ended a team meeting with a special moment for one of his players. After what looked like a player introduction for second-year receiver Cam'Ron King turned into a life-changing experience. Freeze asked King simple questions at first, who the receiver's hero was, and the hometown of the player.

Hugh Freeze pointed to third-down defense as a previous weakness but praised Wednesday's performance while singling out linebackers Xavier Atkins and Bryce Deas.
