Tim Hawthorne brings Auburn a big-play profile with proven yards-after-catch juice
Tim Hawthorne has flashed as a **vertical threat** for Auburn, averaging **19.5 yards per catch** on **13 receptions for 253 yards** in the 2025 season, which signals a receiver who can flip field position in a hurry.[1] What makes him interesting beyond the box score is his clear big-play identity and proven ability to separate enough to produce chunk gains, making him a fit for a team that wants explosive, downfield passing-game juice rather than a purely possession-style target.[1]
