LOADED? Auburn, Alex Golesh's Quarterback Room Seems Done, There are Some Questions

Auburn Tigers overhaul their quarterback room, with Byrum Brown set to start and redshirt freshmen Tristan Ti'a and Locklan Hewlett igniting a high-stakes QB2 battle. Does Auburn’s recruiting approach—focusing on youth and long-term potential—provide security, or leave key positions vulnerable heading into SEC play?

Zac Blackerby and Kyle Rush dissect Auburn’s strategic roster additions via the transfer portal, probing the risks and rewards of projecting future starters versus securing proven backups. The discussion spotlights Shemar Arnoux’s arrival at cornerback after a wild recruitment journey, while raising questions about depth in the offensive line—especially at tackle—with new faces like Joseph Simmons and USF standouts Skinner and Best. Can Auburn’s coaching staff solve the puzzle before spring practice? Position-by-position analysis offers insights on potential breakout players, transfer targets, and the challenges of building a sustainable roster in the NIL era.
