AUBURN, Ala. - Sanjay Govil’s first exposure to Auburn football came as a student when he tutored Steve Wallace, a future three-time Super Bowl winner, in math.

“He was totally focused on his degree at Auburn,” Govil says. “He used to come every day to class early in the morning and study, and then leave on crutches. It speaks to the culture, it speaks to the virtues, it speaks to the priorities Auburn has for its student-athletes. Athletics is a means, education is the way.”

Thirty years after first working together, Wallace and Govil reunited at the 2015 Iron Bowl.
