Well this consistent of spring predictions but i thought i read that guard play wasnt as strong as previous years. Maybe i misread that though? Who is your LT?


Shon Coleman will be LT, same as last year. Last season I believe he was still regaining his strength and stamina from his years in chemo and got worn down by the end of the season. He was a 5* out of HS for a reason, and after a full year starting and another offseason of training I expect a lot more out of him this year.

Guards should be strong. LG will be Alex Kozan who missed last season but was a freshman All-American in 2013 and had the highest grade of any player on either team in the BCSNCG vs FSU.

RG will be Braden Smith who is a monster.

He challenged weight-lifting records (515 pounds) and tended gardens in high school as the nation's No. 1 offensive guard. His monstrous physique spilled out of summer tank tops and turned heads once he arrived on Auburn's campus.

It didn't take long for the nicknames to flow. Teammates called him Drago, the Terminator and the Hulk, but it was his reputation and work ethic that led to several appearances at tackle and tight end as a freshman in 2014.

I was in love with Jovon Robinsons RB highlights during recruiting so ive been pulling for him to put it all together. Would love for him to be a successful player. Hopefully he gets it down


Had a 70 yrd run during a scrimmage today

What will JJ's playing weight be? Is he as nimble for his side as Cam was?


He's listed as 6'5" 240 on Auburn's site. Don't think he's as nimble or agile as Cam, but he's got good speed and is more of a power runner IMO. Going back to a interview before his junior year at the 7-on-7 in Hoover he's maintained that he just prefers to sit in the pocket and sling the ball, but when things break down and he has to run or his number is called to run he will and stats show he's no slouch running the ball.

Was the Melvin Ray hype i heard a joke or will he be very productive this year? Can he run routes well?


No joke. Idk about his route running, I'm no scout. But he's more than you can ask for as a blocker. Coach Craig said it best, he's a gamer and he always produces when he gets the chance, he just hasn't had a lot of chances yet. He's only got 13 catches in his career but averages 22.3 yards per catch, and both his TDs were for 50 yards.
