Auburn Football Coach Hugh Freeze Baptizes Players Amid Religious Freedom Controversy

Over 200 Students Baptized

Former Liberty University head coach Hugh Freeze, now the head coach at Auburn University, was involved in a worship event where nearly 200 students were baptized. The event, held at the lake at Auburn's Red Barn, saw Freeze assist in the baptism of one of his players, according to the Deseret News.

Religious Freedom Debate

The baptisms have sparked a debate about religious freedom, with some questioning whether it is appropriate for a public university employee to lead a religious ceremony. However, Freeze and Auburn University have stated that they will allow students to practice their faith as long as it does not interfere with their studies or other university activities.
