Pro Day at Auburn

Pro football scouts will be making the rounds in the state next week.  Tuesday, they'll visit Auburn.

The Tigers expect six players from last year's team to show their stuff, including running back Ben Tate and defensive end Antonio Coleman, both of whom attended the NFL Combine in Indianapolis last week.

Other senior sexpected to participate are defensive back Walter McFadden, defensive end/tight end Gabe McKenzie, defensive lineman Jake Ricks and quarterback Chris Todd.

Several Auburn players from other seasons may also attend.

Tiger Prowl to return

Auburn will stage another Tiger Prowl limo tour to Alabama high schools in late April.

"It got us out to many high schools and allowed us to introduce ourselves to the state of Alabama," Curtis Luper said.  "The plan is to do that again and make it a little more extensive and more creative."

Big Cat Weekend Returning to AU

Auburn recruiting is returning with more attention-grabbing efforts this year, and that's why the Tigers have scheduled another Big Cat Weekend this spring.

This year's version will be May 28 and promises to attract another crop of big-time recruits.  The Tigers will be looking for 25-or-so high school seniors-to-be on campus.  Many of the players who signed out of last year's BCW will return to lend support.

MS won't slow CT

Courtney Taylor is still living in Seattle, working out to be ready when the call comes.  Oh, and once a month, he does something that sets him apart from other former and future NFL players.

He travels to the University of Washington Medical Center for an intravenous infusion of a powerful medication called Tysabri.  That's how he fights his multiple sclerosis.

"The medication wore on my body at first, but once I got used to it, I felt like a brand-new man," he said.  "The medication has it under control."
