Horatio Fields has a lot of experience as a college football player. During his junior season at Wake Forest in 2024, the receiver caught 39 passes for 463 yards and four touchdowns.

Now firmly entrenched in Auburn's wide receiver rotation, the Douglasville, Ga., native has taken over a new role: leader.

"Number one, he's become the leader of that room, believe it or not," Hugh Freeze said. "He's the father figure in that room, the old guys, and he speaks great wisdom to all of that room. We voted on captains yesterday, and he received quite a few votes, and that's pretty special for a receiver that's come in.
