AUBURN, Ala. — Even if the weather hasn't reflected it yet, spring has sprung for the Auburn Tigers, who started a crucial 2016 camp Tuesday.
The Tigers took the field for helmet-only practices Tuesday and Thursday and will hit Jordan-Hare Stadium for the first time in 2016 Saturday morning.
Several newcomers on the coaching staff stood on the field for the first time next to some already-famous names on campus, including JUCO quarterback John Franklin III and wide receiver Kyle Davis. Other familiar faces such as defensive end Byron Cowart, linebacker Jeff Holland and running back Roc Thomas commanded the spotlight as they began their pushes for starting jobs this fall.
