AUBURN, Ala. — It didn't take long for Marlon Davidson to live up to his recruiting hype.
The true freshman defensive end from Greenville, Ala., has jumped from being an 18-year-old player with potential to a starting assignment for Auburn in its season-opener against Clemson at 8 p.m. Saturday in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Coach Gus Malzahn, living up to his promise to play young guys, unveiled a depth chart that has as many as 16 freshmen or sophomores who could be starters. He promised three more true freshman receivers and two more true freshman running backs will see playing time, too.
