Eric Kleypas

How does a guy born in Texas, grew up in a family of Texas A&M grads, end up at Auburn? For Eric Kleypas his family moved from the Lonestar state to Guin, Alabama when he was a child. His neighbor was an Auburn fan, so Eric and his family became Auburn fans. Auburn's Director for Athletic Turf and Grounds, came to the Plains for engineering, changed his major and stayed for his master's degree. Now he leads the Tigers' efforts at Jordan-Hare Stadium, the practice fields, Plainsman Park, Jane B. Moore Field, the Auburn University Soccer Complex and Wilbur-Hutsell Track.
