Toomer's Corner is ready to roll in 2023. For the first time in several years, Auburn announced that two large oaks are available to roll again. The trees were planted six years ago, and now the university believes they are established enough to have the tradition return. The original Auburn Oaks were planted between 1937 and 1939.
