2021 prospect Michael Trigg could be one of the most important targets for both Bruce Pearl and Gus Malzahn.

When thinking of dual-sport athletes at Auburn, most people’s minds automatically go to Bo Jackson as he is widely considered one of the best athletes in the history of sports. Jackson excelled at both football and baseball on The Plains and went on to play professionally in both sports.

Even Hall of Fame baseball player Frank Thomas played one season of football while he was at Auburn.
