For the first time in four years Auburn won’t have Chandler Cox clearing space for Auburn’s run game. That won’t be an easy hole to fill but Auburn has a plethora of interesting options to use. Gus Malzahn is reportedly also combining the tight end and H-Back positions this year in the offense which is welcomed news. The Tigers have potential weapons galore but it will come down to deploying them properly.
Departures
Auburn has an interesting mixture of talent at both the tight end/h-back spot and the fullback position. John Samuel Shenker took the majority of the first team snaps this spring but faces some wildcard competition from Jay Jay Wilson who is a freaky athlete but inexperienced in the system.
