  12/04/20 - DE *Colby WoodenJr/2023, Auburn

  Entering this season, Auburn needed someone along the defensive line to lighten the blow of losing defensive tackle Derrick Brown and defensive end Marlon Davidson to the NFL. It didn't take long for redshirt freshman Colby Wooden to stand up to that immense challenge. Wooden has been a revelation up front in his second year as a Tiger, as he's recorded 36 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss - which leaves him second in the SEC - three sacks and three quarterback hurries through eight games. Wooden's emergence has been crucial for Auburn, and his youth is the cherry on top given he's just getting started. For him, the 2020 season has been enjoyable but also a constant learning experience.

"It's meant a lot, the fact that I get to come in and help my teammates after not contributing last year. It just feels great to be a contributing member of the team this year," Wooden said. " [The biggest lesson is] just being physical and speed. You've got to be physical at the point of attack as well as coming off the ball fast. The faster you get off the ball, the easier your job will be. "You've also got to attack with a physical mindset that this guy's not going to beat me, this guy's not going to whoop me. Once you get that mindset, you'll be fine." Wooden arrived in Auburn with high expectations as a four-star recruit from Lawrenceville, Georgia, but his first season with the Tigers he was limited thanks to the Tigers' depth. He appeared in three games in 2019, which allowed him to redshirt while learning among the Auburn's more-experienced linemen. - Opelika-Auburn News
