Good for him.

We still have 3 lol. Surprised Evan McGuire hasn't transferred too. He was a pretty decently ranked K/P coming out of HS.

Barkley says we win eight.

I say we win 9-10 only dropping to UGA and Bama. This team loves each other, they have bonded big time over this last year

I wish I had the same optimism some of you have

Those are the only two teams who are vastly more talented than us on our schedule. Is there someone else with way more talent? (Genuinely asking)

If not, then it comes down to coaching, execution, and buy in. I’ll put ours against anyone (not name UGA and Bama lol)

TAMU, Georgia, Alabama and LSU all have more talent from top to bottom.

I would give Auburn an advantage over Ole Miss and Arkansas, but their coaching has improved enough to give them a good chance to beat Auburn now versus years past.

Auburn is definitely more talented than Mizzou, Vandy, South Carolina.

I agree about aTm being more talented persay, but I still am not a believer in them and they come to OUR place. Same with LSU. It won’t be a shitty Ed O team, but I don’t think they will be world beaters either.

Reading about breakout players is extremely fun.

AUBURN | Players step up every fall camp and that’s no different for Auburn in 2022. Below is a look at five Tigers that came into camp without much expected from them, but have made a case to make a serious contribution or start this fall.

The list includes a couple of newcomers including one that came in with pretty high expectations but has lived up to them and then some.

WR MALCOLM JOHNSON

Going into camp, Johnson was one of 12 mostly unproven scholarship receivers competing for three starting position and a few more key backup spots. He’s emerged from camp as a likely starter. Johnson has always been one of AU’s most athletic skill players but has finally started putting it all together in his third year. At 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds, he brings some much-needed big-play potential to the offense.

WR CAMDEN BROWN

Sticking with receivers and big-play ability, Brown has shown that potential from the start. One of AU’s top signees in the 2022 class, Brown has impressed since reporting this summer. At 6-foot-3 and 202 pounds, Brown has the ability to beat defenders with his size, strength and jumping ability, or just run right past them. He’s a future star at Auburn and just needs to get some games under his belt.

OL TATE JOHNSON

Perhaps the biggest surprise coming out of camp as Johnson has spent the majority of the last couple of weeks working with the first-team at center. This time last year, there were questions about his ability to play at this level. A terrific offseason and the opportunity due to an injury to returning starter Nick Brahms has opened the door for Johnson and he’s taken full advantage. He’s performed so well that last year’s backup center, Jalil Irvin, moved to guard and Brandon Council, who has experience as a center, has spent most of camp at guard.

CB KEIONTE SCOTT

Showing up just a couple of days before the start of fall camp, Scott has made plays at cornerback and nickel from the get-go. Even if he doesn’t start, he’s poised to play a lot of snaps and be a key part of the secondary. AU’s coaches weren’t surprised by Scott’s athleticism but the speed at which he’s picked up the defense and the toughness he’s showed at nickel have turned some heads. It says something about his character and drive that he showed up to camp in shape and ready to compete.

S CAYDEN BRIDGES

The redshirt freshman appears to have outcompeted Iowa State transfer Craig McDonald, junior college transfer Marquise Gilbert and talented true freshman Caleb Wooden for the starting safety position opposite Zion Puckett. Bridges is one of AU’s most athletic players and at 6-foot-2 and 202 pounds, has nice size and range for a safety. The former baseball standout at Magee (Miss.) High has made a lot of progress since concentrating solely on football at Auburn.
