AUBURN, Ala. -- As a career that has been hampered by injuries comes to a close, senior linebacker Daniel Pond is ready to finish with a flourish.
“I’m excited to be back healthy,” Pond, from Spanish Fort, Ala., says. “Last year, I put in the work rehabbing my knee. Not being able to help my team on the field was hard, so I am extremely motivated now.
“Everybody comes here with goals and aspirations, and now we seniors have one year left to achieve them.
“There’s definitely been a lot of intensity during the spring and the off-season on the defense, and I’m sure that will continue.
