Name: T.D. Moultry

Number: 99

Position: Edge

Class: Senior

Height: 6’2”

Weight: 253 lbs

Hometown: Birmingham, Alabama

High School: Jackson-Olin

2020 Statistics: 9 tackles, 3 solo, 1 sack, 1.0 TFL.

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. 85 Tyler Fromm

Fromm only made two catches a season ago but will have a larger role in the new offense.

[mm-video type=video id=01fdaxy59dyq6pm6bhcd playlist_id=01eqbyzb4ahnasj2m3 player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01fdaxy59dyq6pm6bhcd/01fdaxy59dyq6pm6bhcd-66b80ac7360477fe37e1be36e1611af7.jpg]

Name: Tyler Fromm

Number: 85

Position: Tight End

Class: Sophomore

Height: 6’5”

Weight: 240 lbs

Hometown: Warner Robins, Georgia

High School: Warner Robins

2020 Statistics: Appeared in one game and did not record any stats. 

Twitter: @FrommTyler

Overview: Fromm only appeared in one game last season, the blowout win over LSU, but is set to have a larger role on his sophomore season. Fromm impressed the new coaching staff in spring and with his pass-catching ability has the chance to become a weapon in the passing game from the tight end position, something Auburn has not had in quite some time.

Auburn used two-tight end sets in the spring and if that trend continues into the season, expect Fromm to see plenty of the field, even in a loaded tight end room.

2021 Auburn football player profile, overview: No. 81 J.J. Evans

Could JJ Evans play in a key role this season?

Name: J.J. Evans

Number: 81

Position: Wide Receiver

Class: Redshirt Freshman

Height: 6’2” 

Weight: 224 lbs

Hometown: Montevallo, Alabama

High School: Montevallo

2020 Statistics: Did not see any game action.

Twitter: @JJ_Evans9

Overview: Evans was one of four four-star wide receivers Auburn signed in the 2020 recruiting class. He did not see the field last season and was injured during spring practices, so he is working on getting back up to full speed ahead of the 2021 season. Evans was a highly productive receiver in high school and once he is fully healed he will have a chance to do that for Auburn in an unproven receiving room.

2021 Auburn football player profile, overview: No. 82 Hayden Brice

Meet Auburn tight end Hayden Brice.

Name: Hayden Brice

Number: 82

Position: Tight End

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

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

Name: Ze’Vian Capers

Number: 80

Position: Wide Receiver 

Class: Sophomore 

Height: 6’4”

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.

2021 Auburn football player profile, overview: No. 77 Kilian Zierer

Can Kilian Zierer compete for a starting job?

Name: Kilian Zierer

Number: 77

Position: Left Tackle

Class: Junior

Height: 6’7”

Weight: 298 lbs

Hometown: Munich, Germany 

High School: N/A

2020 Statistics: Did not see any game action

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.

2021 Auburn football player profile, overview: No. 44 Jay Sharp

Jay Sharp has work to do to earn playing time for Auburn in 2021.

Name: Jay Sharp

Number: 44

Position: Running back 

Class: Redshirt freshman 

Height: 5’8”

Weight: 164 lbs

Hometown: Birmingham, Alabama

High School: Pinson Valley

2020 Statistics: N/A

Twitter: @j2sharpp

Overview: Sharp walked on last season and did not appear in a game. With Auburns running back room down to just three scholarship players in Tank Bigsby, Shaun Shivers and Jarquez Hunter, Sharp has emerged as the team’s fourth running back and has been important for the Tigers in practice. 

2021 Auburn Football Player Profile, Overview: No. 40 Landen King

Landen King could be a major factor at the tight end position in the near future.

Name: Landen King

Number: 40

Position: Tight end

Class: Freshman

Height: 6’5”

Weight: 214 lbs.

Hometown: Beaumont, Texas

High School: Atascocita

Twitter: @Landen_King3

Overview:

A talented tight end that also played H-back in high school, the three-star signee out of Beaumont, Texas will have plenty of chances to work his way up a crowded depth chart at his position. King brings a pedigree of being able to get open and, with good hands, be a reliable target for the quarterback. With the use of the tight end hopefully becoming a thing in Mike Bobo’s offense, he could be a major weapon in the near future.

2021 Auburn Football Player Profile, Overview: No. 35 James Owen Moss

Can Moss earn some playing time in 2021?

Name: James Owen Moss

Number: 35

Position: Wide receiver

Class: Senior

Height: 5’10”

Weight: 191 lbs.

Hometown: Opelika, Alabama

High School: Opelika

2020 Statistics: N/A

Overview:

After seeing action in six games in 2019, the Opelika native didn’t see the field as a junior in 2020. With the lack of experienced depth at the wide receiver position, he might be able to work himself up to some playing time.
