"Absolutely," said Auburn's defensive coordinator Tuesday. "I think the young secondary guys — Jeremiah Dinson, Carlton Davis, Javaris Davis — are all guys that have exhibited the ability to play on the edges in the Southeastern Conference."

Muschamp didn't stop there, saying freshman defensive end Byron Cowart "has done some nice things for us. He’s going to be a guy that’s going to contribute.
