Since 2015, Auburn tight ends have combined to catch 11 passes for 103 yards and 4 TDs. Barring attrition or any position changes, Auburn is on pace to enter the 2021 season with six tight ends on the roster. That number could climb to seven if the Tigers can snag 4-star Michael Trigg.
That begs the question...
To understand Auburn’s recent obsession with tight ends (giggity) you have to understand one of the key differences between Gus Malzahn and Chad Morris’s offensive schemes.
By now, you are probably well aware of Malzahn and Morris’s backstory.
