09/16/20 - DE *Colby Wooden, Jr/2023, Auburn

Colby Wooden wasn't himself during his first season on the Plains. The former four-star defensive end redshirted in 2019, appearing in just four games after a bout of mono set him back as a true freshman. He couldn't work out with his teammates during that time and dropped a bunch of weight - dipping below 240 pounds. Toward the end of the season, though, Wooden bounced back. He was stronger and "leaner and more powerful and explosive," former defensive end Marlon Davidson said in December, and his weight was back up to 260. As Davidson put it, Wooden got his "juice back." Following a prolonged and unusual offseason, Wooden has the juices flowing again and could take the biggest step forward this season among Auburn's returning defensive linemen as the Tigers try to maintain their dominance up front following the departures of Davidson, Derrick Brown and Nick Coe.

"Colby Wooden is a guy that you would have to say is not the star, but you would have to say he's one of the guys that has just taken a big jump from last year to this year," defensive coordinator Kevin Steele said. "He's played really well. Very mature." A big reason for that jump in readiness, Steele said, is credited to the work of strength and conditioning coach Ryan Russell this offseason. After Wooden shed all that weight last season during his bout with mono, he certainly had the most to gain from a full offseason of work with Russell. - Birmingham News
