BATON ROUGE | It was a coming out party nearly four years in the making.

Brandon Frazier came into Saturday night’s game at No. 22 LSU with four receptions for 32 yards in his first 33 Auburn games.

In AU’s 48-18 loss at Tiger Stadium, the senior tight end totaled three receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown. He also caught a 2-point conversion.

"Definitely proud of him,” said senior offensive guard Kam Stutts. “He had a great game. He's a hard-working man and it's great to see him go out there and have some success.”

Frazier is one of three senior tight ends on AU’s roster. Both Luke Deal and Tyler Fromm have caught a touchdown in their careers, which often came up during lively banter.

It’s one thing they won’t be able to hold over Frazier anymore.

“We’re all each other’s best friends and stuff. But I can finally not have that argument anymore,” said Frazier.

Against LSU, Frazier had AU’s longest reception, a 39-yard leaping catch. His touchdown came on a 3-yard pass from Robby Ashford. The two connected for the 2-point conversion on the next play.

“Whenever you get a chance to make a play, just go make it. I got an opportunity and I’m not going to let that go to waste,” said Frazier. “We always talk about, especially this whole week. Coach kept telling me, ‘You’re going to get in the end zone. You’re going to get in the end zone.’ And I was like, ‘Alright, I’m here for it.’ It finally happened so I’m excited.”

Frazier, 6-foot-7 and 267 pounds, has taken on a much bigger role with the offense this season as AU often uses two-tight end sets.

"Happy for him,” said AU coach Hugh Freeze. “Those tight ends, they go to work every day in that room. Great leadership in that room by those guys. They're really vital to us; it's one of the better rooms we have. It's good to see Frazier get some balls come his way.”

Auburn hosts No. 13 Ole Miss next Saturday at 6 p.m. CT on ESPN.
