Brandon Jacobs?

Jacobs left Auburn but it was on pretty good terms, just wanted to go somewhere that he would be the featured back. When he was playing for the G-men his SUV had Auburn stuff on it - tag bracket, decals, etc.

If we are straying outside of the athletic arena, the one famous former Auburn student who never seems to care about the school is Jimmy Buffett. Granted, he was only a student for a semester before goign to Southern Miss, but still. The only two times I have known him to mention Auburn was in his autobiography and then in passing at the 2010 Atlanta concert.

Athletic wise, I don't think any of the big names from Cliff Ellis's days in Auburn come back much, but then there was so much smoke around some of them that I guess the school doesn't want them back either. I am somewhat surprised that neither Chuck or Wesley Persons comes back, or at least aren't very obvious about it.
