AUBURN, Ala. - Auburn’s senior class is heading into bowl season with more than just memories - they're walking into all-star showcases with something to prove. Five Tigers have earned invites to some of college football’s most prestigious postseason events, a testament to their development, durability, and impact on the field.
Keyron Crawford, Auburn’s relentless edge rusher, is headed to the Senior Bowl, and it’s a well-earned nod. He capped off his senior season with 36 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, and 5.0 sacks.
But the stat that really jumps off the page? 43 total pressures, the fourth-best mark in the SEC, according to Pro Football Focus.
That’s not just production - that’s disruption. Over his career, Crawford piled up 116 tackles, 24 TFLs, and 11.5 sacks, carving out a reputation as one of the SEC’s most consistently impactful defensive ends.
Joining him in Mobile is Jeremiah Wright, a rock-solid presence on the offensive line. Wright started all 24 games at right guard over the past two seasons and appeared in 53 total games during his Auburn career - tied for the 10th most in program history.
That kind of availability and consistency doesn’t just happen. It’s built in the trenches, rep by rep, and Wright has been a model of durability and dependability.
Meanwhile, Bobby Jamison-Travis is headed to the Hula Bowl, and he’s bringing his best season with him. The senior nose tackle started all 12 games this year and finished with 36 tackles, including two for loss.
That 36-tackle mark was good for fourth on the team - not bad for a guy anchoring the middle of the defensive line. Jamison-Travis may not have always filled the stat sheet, but his presence in the interior was a key part of Auburn’s defensive identity.
On the offensive side, Dillon Wade will represent the Tigers at the East-West Shrine Bowl. The Houston native was a fixture on the line, stringing together 34 consecutive starts to close out his college career.
He allowed just one sack all season and recorded multiple knockdowns in four different games. That’s the kind of performance that gets noticed by scouts - and rewarded with a Shrine Bowl invite.
Rounding out the group is Brandon Frazier, who’s also headed to the Hula Bowl. The veteran tight end wrapped up a six-year Auburn career with 55 games played, a number that ranks among the top 10 in program history.
While his receiving numbers - 25 catches and two touchdowns - don’t tell the whole story, Frazier’s value went beyond the stat sheet. He was a steady, reliable presence in the tight end room and a key piece in Auburn’s offensive sets.
And for those keeping track of tradition - Auburn has now had at least one player selected to the Senior Bowl every year since 1968. That streak continues with Crawford and Wright, and it speaks volumes about the program’s ability to develop NFL-caliber talent year after year.
These postseason invites aren’t just ceremonial. They’re opportunities. For these five seniors, it’s a chance to showcase their skills in front of pro scouts, prove they belong at the next level, and represent Auburn one more time on a national stage.
