  What's old is new again in Auburn's running backs room this spring. After an offseason shakeup that saw both D.J. Williams and Mark-Antony Richards transfer to Florida State and UCF, respectively, the Tigers' backfield has a new look to it, and the team is hoping to find some depth relief in the form of a former running back turned defensive back who is back to his natural position - senior Devan Barrett. "He's got the body type; I do like his attitude as a person and just who he is," Auburn coach Bryan Harsin said. "He can go play physical and play tough, and that position, that requires it. You've got to be a different guy to play tailback, and you've got to be someone who's physical."

Barrett is a former four-star prospect who originally signed with Auburn in 2017 as a running back, but it has been a while since the 6-foot, 195-pounder had seen actual reps at the position. After cracking the backfield rotation as a freshman in 2017, when he had 14 carries for 79 yards and 10 receptions for 33 yards and a touchdown, Barrett moved to cornerback the following fall (after splitting some time at receiver in the spring of 2018 as well). He worked mostly on special teams after his switch to cornerback, notably recovering a blocked punt for a touchdown against Alabama State in 2018, and then opted out during the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns. - Birmingham News
