Cole Best Joins Golesh at Auburn

Cole Best, a standout senior center and team captain from South Florida, is transferring to Auburn to join head coach Alex Golesh — a move he calls a “dream come true.” Best, who started in flag football before switching to tackle, thrived at USF and earned All-Conference honors. His decision was fueled by loyalty to Golesh and deep admiration for Auburn’s culture, traditions, and the “Auburn Family” vibe. He’s not alone — QB Byrum Brown is joining him, and their on-field chemistry is vital for Auburn’s offense. Best’s 2026 goals? Lead with heart, win a conference title, make the playoffs, and chase a national championship — while aiming for the Rimington Trophy. Beyond stats, he wants to be remembered as a true leader who gave everything. After football, he plans to dive into real estate and start a family — but for now, he’s all in on building a legacy on The Plains.
