SEC Media Days: Auburn’s Keldric Faulk ‘leading by example’

ATLANTA – Keldric Faulk made Auburn history last year when he became the program’s youngest representative at SEC Media Days as an 18-year-old sophomore.  On track to be a three-year starter and still a teenager when the Tigers kick off the season at Baylor next month, Faulk returned to the Southeastern Conference showcase Tuesday at the College Football Hall of Fame, feeling “way more comfortable” in his second appearance at the event.  Dressed to impress once again in a black suit, white shirt, gray tie and silver chain with No. 15 and “KF” pendants, Faulk thanked his mother, Lakendral Barnes, for selecting his winning wardrobe.   “My mom gets the credit,” he said. “She got me right with the fit.” ATLANTA, GA – July 15, 2025 – Auburn Defensive Lineman Keldric Faulk (#15) during SEC Media Day at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, GA.
