AUBURN, Ala. - Sixty years after Ken Rice arrived at Auburn as the Big Man on Campus, he shook hands with the Tigers reigning BMOC, Braden Smith.
Before Auburn’s A-Day game, Smith received the Ken Rice Award as the Tigers best blocking lineman.
“It’s obviously a high honor,” Smith said. “Lots of good linemen on our team. To get that award is a very big honor.”
The two Auburn football stars have much in common, beginning with the ability to move defensive linemen to places they’d prefer not to go.
