Not sure Brooks is a pass rusher anymore, btw

Yeah there was some talk that a few coaches think he could actually end up at DT.. He hasn't responded well to the weight gain at all. I'm curious as to why he hasn't tried to slim back down since he's having trouble adjusting though.

I think It’s just his body type. We forget sometimes these are growing kids. I’m not sure his weight gain was completely intentional as much as it was just genetically predestined

Newly ranked 4* WR from Pike Road is getting D1 offers from PSU and Maryland with other SEC schools reportedly close

Could def be the case. Just thought I remembered him intentionally gaining weight before his season started. Wouldn't the the first time I was wrong though lol.

That’s what he said but I don’t necessarily believe it

Volnations seems to think Brooks flips.

ETA

Other AU boards still think we aren't very high on him.

I don’t think he’s our favorite pass rush option but he’s certainly a guy we want and would take right now

If any coaching seat is red hot this year it's gotta be Pruitt. That fanbase really dislikes him.

Harvard OG Eric Wilson is one of the top grad transfer options. He visited this weekend and really loved it. Parents came too. Says Auburn is #1 right now.


Wilson commits. He will not be on campus until summer because he needs to finish his degree from Haaaaaaaahvahd

It helps

OT remains an issue. Gotta have HS guys to balance the depth chart or else we’re in the transfer or JUCO market every year.

We were in a good spot with Johnson, Langlo, and Gooch but now we’re down to Langlo.

Yep, and I really don't see any of our guys leaving unless they are just tired of school.

Also, with the potential new transfer rule, UGA/UA and the likes won't be able to make promises about playing time. This new rule can really help Gus out if he leverages it correctly.

Here is his highlight video from I'm assuming last year: Wilson Video

He's technically proficient and never stops moving his feet. There are a couple of plays where he's zone blocking and peels off the first layer (DT) to get the LB. Does this incredibly well. Also shows him pulling which is not something you usually see in a zone scheme (AU does this too), and he pulls incredibly well too. He's athletic enough to play OT, OG, or C IMO. Great pick-up.

Good analysis. He’d be a backup tackle I think, but would excel in the middle. He screams Center, so maybe a replacement for Brahms

Trending down for 4* ‘22 QB Ty Simpson.
Trending up for 4* QB Cade Klubnik. He’s coming to the A&M game

Gonna be the same story as before with Bo coming in: very tough to land a top QB next year with Davis signing this season.

Still looking good for 4* LB Trevin Wallace. Still in good shape for edge rusher Byron Young
