Auburn Stars Join Nike NIL Roster | Huntsville News

Four Auburn stars are stepping into the spotlight with Nike’s NIL program—QB Byrum Brown, LB Xavier Atkins, and WRs Keshaun Singleton and Chas Nimrod—all poised to dominate both the field and their personal brands. Brown, Singleton, and Nimrod join from South Florida, following coach Alex Golesh, who led the Bulls to a nine-win, top-three offense in 2025. Atkins, a first-team All-American since 2003, leads the defense with 84 tackles, 17 TFLs, and 9 sacks last season, earning the nation’s highest LB grade from PFF. The Tigers open their campaign Sept. 5 against Baylor in the Aflac Kickoff Game on ABC at 2:30 PM CT—a perfect test for this loaded roster. These athletes aren’t just playing—they’re building futures. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
