Historically if you ask most Auburn football fans whether they’d bet on the offense or defense, many would probably feel safer depending on the defense. The linebacker position was an area of strength for the Auburn defense in recent years with K.J. Britt, Owen Pappoe, and Zakoby McClain leading the group.
With the latter two players returning in addition to Chandler Wooten making his return to the Plains, the LBs should be just as strong in the coming season.
