Over the next few weeks, I’ll be taking a closer look at some of the top early targets for the Tigers in the 2022 class.
I won’t lie. I have a little uneasiness heading into the 2022 cycle when it comes to defensive line recruiting. Stability eluded Gus Malzahn for much of his tenure but one area Auburn always seemed to be consistently good was on the defensive line. That’s been Rodney Garner’s domain since 2013 and it’s a bit weird heading into a recruiting cycle without him in charge of things up front.
The good news is I think Nick Eason has a chance to be an outstanding recruiter in his own right.
