Auburn running back Tank Bigsby has been named the SEC Freshman of the Year.

While the future of the Auburn coaching staff remains a question, there is one certainty within the program: The Tigers have a dangerous Tank in their arsenal.

True freshman running back Tank Bigsby was named the SEC Freshman of the Year on Tuesday after rushing for 834 yards and five touchdowns for the Tigers this season.

A five-star out of Callaway High School in Hogansville, Georgia, Bigsby quickly worked his way into earning more carries early in the season, rushing 20 times for 146 yards in the third game of the season against Arkansas.

He rushed for more than 100 yards four times, including 192 yards on 26 attempts in the regular-season finale against Mississippi State.
