Two-sport star and Auburn baseball alum Gabe Gross is among the former Tiger athletes who will receive a Tiger Trail plaque in downtown Auburn during A-Day Weekend.
Gross, whose father Lee Gross was a center for Auburn in the 1970s and then played for the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Colts, played two years for the football team at quarterback before devoting the rest of his time on the Plains to the baseball squad. In 1998, he threw for 1,222 yards and seven touchdowns in nine games as a true freshman on a team that struggled to go 3-8.
