Projecting Auburn’s offensive depth chart following spring practice

With spring practice in the books, here is a projected look at Auburn’s offensive depth chart going into the summer.

Auburn’s first spring practice under Bryan Harsin has concluded and there are still plenty of position battles the will be waged during the summer and into the fall for the Tigers.

On offense, the backfield is set with the combination of Bo Nix and Tank Bigsby while the offensive line returns a slew of starters from last season. Who will be the guys catching the balls from Nix, though? Besides Elijah Canion, there are no sure names that dot the starting lineup right now.

Here’s a look at our projected lineup after what we saw this spring and during the annual A-Day Game last Saturday.
