Auburn announces depth chart ahead of matchup with Texas A&M

Auburn has made two changes to the depth chart ahead of their game against Texas A&M

For the second week in a row, Auburn has made some changes to its official depth chart. The Tigers unveiled their depth chart for their Week 4 showdown with Texas A&M on Monday and there is a change on offense and on special teams.

With primary punt returner [autotag]Keionte Scott[/autotag] expected to miss “considerable time,” [autotag]Jaylin Simpson[/autotag] has been named the new starter. Simpson has returned one punt in his time at Auburn, back in 2021 he had a return of -1 yards.

The other change to the depth chart was the addition of freshman running back [autotag]Jeremiah Cobb[/autotag]. He has looked impressive in the first three weeks of the season and has earned more playing time in a crowded backfield.

Here is a look at the full depth chart ahead of their game against Texas A&M Saturday in College Station.

Auburn releases depth chart ahead of season opener against UMass

As expected, Auburn has plenty of nexcomers listed as starters for their game against UMass.

The Auburn Tigers have released their depth chart for their week one game against Umass.

Auburn entered fall camp with several position battles and while some were resolved, not all have been officially ended. The depth chart reveals how those battles are going as well as some surprise reserves, even if [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] downplayed its importance.

“I’m going to be totally candid with you, I don’t even have a depth chart,” he admitted Monday. “I don’t know where that came from. I guess that’s from the SID world. I don’t do depth charts. I just don’t, it’s really nonsense.”

I don’t care who runs out there with the first group or the second group. They freely rotate, so I don’t make much of those depth charts.”

With that being said, here’s a look at Auburn’s depth chart for their game against UMass on Saturday.

Twitter: @humble55_

Overview: Moultry is back for his super senior season and looking to close his Auburn career with his best season. That won’t be easy as he will be challenged by Dylan Brooks, Eku Leota, and Romello Height.

If Moultry can get off to a fast start in fall practices, then he will have a chance to cement himself as a primary edge option and become the type of player who can take Auburn’s defense up a level. On paper, the new defensive scheme benefits his skill set and a strong season could help Moultry make it to the NFL.

2021 Auburn football player profile, overview: No. 93 Daniel Foster-Allen

Daniel Foster-Allen is a player to watch for the future along the defensive line.

Name: Daniel Foster-Allen

Number: 93

Position: Defensive End

Class: Redshirt Freshman

Height: 6’4”

Weight: 258 lbs

Hometown: Mobile, Alabama

High School: St. Paul’s

2020 Statistics: Did not see any game action.

Twitter: N/A

Overview: Foster-Allen is an explosive athlete coming off of the edge, but he needs to continue to spend time in a collegiate strength program to fill out his 6-foot-4 frame. As he fills out that frame, he could become capable of playing along the interior of the line as well as the edge. He will be competing with several other talented players for snaps in 2021 but he is an underclassmen to watch for seasons to come.

2021 Auburn football player profile, overview: No. 80 Ze’Vian Capers

How many touchdowns do you think Ze’Vian Capers will score this season?

Weight: 195 lbs

Hometown: Alpharetta, Georgia

High School: Denmark

2020 Statistics: 7 receptions, 77 yards, 1 touchdown

Twitter: @_ZeVianCapers

Overview: Capers was one of the players to watch in spring practice as he recovered from surgery on his left foot. Auburn’s staff was understandably cautious with him, holding him out of scrimmages or full practices. He is expected to be a full go in fall camp as he will attempt to become Auburn’s top receiver as just a sophomore. Capers looked best playing split end but he has experience at big slot, providing several options when he is on the field.

Twitter: @Kili24_

Overview: Zierer had a nightmare 2020, the former top ranked JUCO offensive tackles was rehabbing a torn ACL when the pandemic hit, and the German tackle was stranded far from home. He did not see the field last season but with injury hopefully behind him he has the ability to become a wild card in the offensive line rotation. Auburn’s offensive line needs to play at a higher level and Zierer has the frame (6’7”) and footwork that coaches covet as a starting tackle.

Hometown: Navarre, Florida

High School: Navarre

2020 Statistics: Started 11 games at center

Twitter: @Nick_Brahms

Overview: Brahms is the most experienced offensive lineman the Tigers have after starting every game at center a season ago. Offensive line coach Will Friend spoke positively about his ability to communicate during the spring practices and he looks to be the anchor the staff will try to build the rest of the offensive line around. If the progress he made in the spring can translate to the field, then the offensive line and the entire offense will be in a better spot for the upcoming season.

Ranking Auburn’s wide receivers in 2021

Let’s rank the Auburn wide receiver room now that Demetris Robertson is a part of the team.

With the addition of Demetris Robertson transferring to Auburn, the Tigers have a much different look at wide receivers entering the 2021 season.

The former Georgia receiver will be the oldest player in the room and will carry the most experience of any skill player in Bryan Harsin’s offense. Although inexperienced, the wide receiver room on The Plains is filled will a lot of explosive players and has a ridiculous amount of upside.

With the departure of Eli Stove, Seth Williams, and Anthony Schwartz, Auburn’s next version of a big three at the wide receiver position will be a wait and see type situation as younger guys like Kobe Hudson, ZeVian Capers, and Elijah Canion fight for playing time in this new Mike Bobo offense.

Let’s rate Auburn’s receivers going into fall camp after the addition of Robertson.
