“Bust” has been word thrown at former five-star defensive lineman Byron Cowart during his career at Auburn. His position coach Rodney Garner is not happy with people placing this judgment on the junior defensive tackle.
“He came here with unrealistic expectations,” Garner said via OANow.com. “You put more pressure on the kid than he could ever live up to. A lot of that you guys have put on Byron. It’s just unfair. I’m going to be honest with you.”
According to 247Sports.com, Cowart was the third-ranked high school prospect in 2015. He was listed as the the nation’s best strong-side defensive end.
