AUBURN, Ala. - As soon as Gus Malzahn and two seniors on Auburn’s football team entered the room, a cancer patient’s day took a turn for the better.
“One of the men was going crazy when we walked in,” defensive back Tray Matthews said. “He said, ‘Man, I’m shaking. I’ve got to stop shaking. This is crazy.’ That was probably the best experience, to see his smile and his reaction.”
Matthews and offensive lineman Austin Golson joined Malzahn Wednesday at East Alabama Medical Center, one of seven Auburn Athletics service projects on the ninth annual Tigers Give Back Day, created in 2009 by Director of Athletics Jay Jacobs.
