Depth Chart Overview
Faulk, a former top 100 recruit, is ready to contribute as a true freshman and looks to be one of Auburn’s top pass-rushing options already. That is a lot of pressure on someone as young as him, especially considering he is coming from a small high school, but he has the ability and work ethic to be an immediate contributor.
He will likely get snaps at both the jack linebacker spot and at defensive end, as Auburn moves him around to take advantage of his versatility. Expect him to earn more playing time as the season moves on and he continues to adjust to the college level and be challenging for a starting role by season’s end.
