There is talent in the Auburn football program heading into this season. Despite the adversity of the coaching change and transfers heading to and from the Plains, the Tigers are more determined than ever to compete this season.
One area of strength in the program this year is most definitely the Tigers’ linebackers. The dynamic duo of Zakoby McClain and Owen Pappoe is arguably the best pair of linebackers in the SEC, combining for 206 of the Tigers’ tackles last season and sitting at the top of the leaderboard in total tackles.
