Jonathan LeGrand, a 2012 graduate of Dothan High School and United States Marine Corps veteran, will be an honorary captain for the Auburn football team when the Tigers host Texas
Just making the Auburn team as a walk-on linebacker this year fulfilled a goal of playing college football set when he was leaving the Marine Corps after five years of service following his high school graduation.
“HI, my name is Jonathan LeGrand. I am 24 years old from Dothan Al. I am currently serving as a corporal in the United States Marine Corps. I am trying to play baseball and/or football when I exit my time in the service. I have many years experience in both games and understand them both very well. I was never scouted to play at a higher level because I was too small for my position. However, I have finally grown in to my body and believe I could play at the collegiate level.
After not making the team during his first two tries, LeGrand joined the Auburn Rugby Club and helped the team win a national championship a year ago.Earlier this week, interim head coach Carnell Williams announced in front of the team that LeGrand would be an honorary captain on Saturday night. “Coach Robinson called me in and said, ‘Hey, we want you here … like I want you to be a part of this. So get ready to work this summer,’” LeGrand said.
