AUBURN, Ala. - After starting his college football career away from Auburn, playing at Ole Miss as a true freshman, center Austin Golson soon knew where he needed to go and where he truly belonged.
A senior on the Rimington Trophy preseason watch list for the award given to the nation’s top center, Golson grew up in Prattville, Ala. After his grandfather, Patrick Trotter, suffered two heart attacks, Austin knew he wanted to be closer to home.
“I always grew up an Auburn fan, and I just felt like I was in the wrong place, and I needed to be in Auburn,” said Golson, who transferred following the 2013 season and redshirted the 2014 campaign.
