Avery included the following message to Auburn fans:
After four incredible years at Auburn University, I plan to submit my name for entry into the 2016 NFL Draft. I want to thank the Auburn family, including my coaches, school administration and our amazing fans for supporting me during my time on the plains. We made multiple bowl appearances together, earned an SEC championship, and even had an opportunity to play in a national championship game. I’ll miss everything about my college experience, but I’m excited to take this next step in my career and to proudly represent my university in the NFL.
No matter where my career takes me from here, one thing will always remain true: I’ll always be an Auburn Tiger. War Eagle.
Well said.
Auburn snagged the talented offensive lineman out of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla as part of the 2012 recruiting cycle.
