AUBURN, Ala. – Dylan Cardwell has always been a fan favorite at Auburn. Whether he’s taking his shirt off on the jumbotron at football games or chest bumping fans during basketball games, he’s always having fun and bringing joy to others.
His grandfather, Thomas Johnson, is the exact same way.
Like Cardwell, Johnson is always dancing, always laughing, always joyful. He’s the center of attention in any room he walks into. He has that same infectious personality.
“We’re the same person,” said Cardwell, the center of attention at any sporting event he attends. “I learned who I wanted to be by watching him. He’s the leader of our family tree, and he’s a great example of the man I want to be.
“I always tell people if he went to Auburn, he’d be a better Auburn Man than me.”
The two even share a namesake as Cardwell’s middle name is Thomas after his grandfather.
