If you know Auburn football, then you definitely know the names Owen Pappoe and Zakoby McClain. The pair of linebackers are both returning starters for the upcoming season after leading the Tigers in tackles in 2020. With a new defensive coordinator in Derek Mason and largely a new defensive scheme, McClain and Pappoe will be heavily relied upon to bring the heat at the line of scrimmage.
