A new annual tradition has sprung up on Auburn's campus.

Taking pictures of the school's most famous student.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has returned to Auburn for the third straight spring semester, taking classes as he finishes up a degree in sociology, a Auburn spokesman confirmed on Friday.

Newton has returned for the past three spring semesters, and as of last spring, the two-time Pro Bowler was targeting a graduation this May.

So far, Newton has followed the same script in every return to Auburn's campus: No interviews, few media appearances, although he does like to stop to check in on the football team from time to time.

And of course, if Newton's on campus, he ends up in more than a few photos.
