Auburn football: 2 seniors to use extra year of NCAA eligibility

LSU quarterback Joe Burrow (9) is sacked by Auburn football defensive lineman Tyrone Truesdell (94) at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, La., on Saturday, Oct. 26, 2019. LSU defeated Auburn 23-20.

With the NCAA extending an extra year of eligibility to athletes due to the COVID-19 circumstances that rocked the college sports world, Auburn football will see two seniors return to the field at Jordan-Hare Stadium in the 2021-22 season.

The first is defensive tackle Tyrone Truesdell. He played in nine games as a true freshman DT in 2017 and earned a starting position at tackle his junior year.
