Auburn will send seniors Champ Anthony , Byrum Brown , and Alex McPherson to join head coach Alex Golesh at the 2026 SEC Media Days in Tampa, Florida.
SEC Media Days is approaching, and with that, the release of player appearances for the upcoming event. The Tigers send three seniors from each phase of the game to this year's media days. Safety Champ Anthony, quarterback Byrum Brown, and kicker Alex McPherson are the three players set to represent the Tigers.

Anthony is returning from a season-ending leg injury he suffered in the game against Kentucky , which was similar to his leg injury the year before. The senior served as captain and played in seven games and made four starts for the Tigers. He totaled 13 total tackles, nine solo tackles, one PBU, and one pass defense in 2025.
The big name transfer, Brown, has all the eyes on him after an impressive junior season at South Florida . Brown passed for 3,158 yards, 66.3 completion percentage, and 28 touchdowns while totaling 1,008 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground. Rivals rated Brown (94.29) as the highest transfer for the Tigers this offseason.
Similar to Anthony, McPherson's availability on the field had been limited, and he looks to make a comeback. The Fort Payne, Alabama, native initially was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and would have his entire colon removed in December 2024. He would later be diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. McPherson now plays with an ostomy bag. His inspiring story landed him the Capital One Orange Bowl-FWAA Courage Award.
Auburn 's day will be on Tuesday, July 21, from 9 a.m. to 12:40 p.m. EST. The event begins Monday, July 20, at 9 a.m. EST with league commissioner Greg Sankey and concludes on Thursday, July 23.
