Auburn players voted for their team captains Saturday, naming senior linebacker K.J. Britt, sophomore quarterback Bo Nix, senior defensive lineman Big Kat Bryant and junior running back Shaun Shivers.

Nix, the Reighning SEC Freshman of the Year, set Auburn newcomer records for completions (217), passing yards (2,542) and touchdown passes (16) in an up and down freshman year.
Shivers, who is competing to be Auburn’s lead back, averaged 5.2 yards per carry and became an Auburn legend when he scored the winning touchdwon against Alabama in the 2019 Iron Bowl.
Bryant is expected to be one of the leaders on the defense after leading the team in quarterback hurries (9) a season ago and was named to the 2020 Preseason Coaches All-SEC First Team with Britt.
