NEW YORK (AP) – Cheering, singing and blasting marching band music, hundreds of Auburn fans gathered to welcome Cam Newton in front of the Broadway theater where the Heisman Trophy was set to be awarded.
The Tigers’ star is the overwhelming favorite to win the award as college football’s most outstanding player later Saturday night.
Fans clad in orange and blue arrived nearly an hour ahead of time to recreate an Auburn tradition. Fans normally line the path into Jordan-Hare stadium in a “Tiger Walk” for players before games.
The version organized with less than a week’s notice by a New York alumni club appeared to be a smash hit – Newton beamed as he arrived in front of the entrance to the Best Buy Theater.
