Jamien Sherwood didn't run as fast as he had hoped at Auburn's pro day earlier this month. The former Auburn safety clocked in an unofficial 40-yard dash time of 4.75 seconds-a full two-tenths of a second slower than he was aiming for while training for the draft at Brandon Marshall's House of Athlete facility in South Florida. He said he stumbled slightly on his first attempt at pro day, but his second one was somewhat better. Either way, Sherwood isn't too concerned with how fast he ran in front of personnel from 30 of the NFL's 32 teams on March 18. After all, 40 times may grab attention, but they aren't the end all, be all for prospects. "It says a lot, but it doesn't say everything," Sherwood said. "...My motto is, 'how do you stop speed? You hit it.' You can run a 4.1, but once you run into a wall, it comes to an end."

"Most teams just told me that they just wanted to see me move, wanted to see me run and actually get a feel for me," Sherwood said. "They saw what I could do on the field and stuff like that. Most teams weren't sure if I would be a box safety or a backside linebacker. But today (at pro day), I feel like I put on a good show, especially when we got to the drill parts. I feel like I answered any questions that they didn't have answered yet. Me, personally, I can do both of them (safety and LB). And the way that I moved today, I feel like they can think the same." - Birmingham News

04/03/21 - Devin Guice, rSr/2022, Auburn, 5-08, 160 (DS#180 CB) + More +

The former Opelika High School standout decided to exercise his extra year of eligibility for 2021, and it may result in him filling his biggest role yet for the Tigers. Guice has only appeared in 11 games during his first four years at Auburn, but so far this spring he's been in the mix on Derek Mason's defense. Guice has stepped in at nickelback - a position Auburn needs to fill after Christian Tutt declared for the NFL draft - and his play early at the position drew praise from senior safety Smoke Monday. Guice doesn't have a grasp on the starting role yet, as junior Nehemiah Pritchett has also been working at nickel and is the presumptive starter after a productive 2020 season. Still, Guice still has a chance to play meaningful snaps this fall, and if he finishes the spring strong he could give Pritchett a run for his money. - Opelika-Auburn News

03/28/21 - Jeremiah Wright, rSr/2026, Auburn, 6-4, 348 (DS#5 OG) + More +

Auburn defensive tackle Jeremiah Wright sustained a torn ACL during spring practice, he shared on his Snapchat story Friday evening. Wright, a sophomore, sustained the injury during Thursday's scrimmage at Jordan-Hare Stadium and underwent X-rays and further tests on his left knee Friday morning. It is unclear when Wright will undergo surgery to repair the ligament or what the timeline will be for his return. It's a difficult blow to Auburn's defensive line, as the 6-foot-5, 338-pounder was making a strong impression on the new defensive staff early on this spring. He was repping with the first-team defense at defensive tackle during Saturday's open practice, while he received second-team reps during the 40-minute viewing window afforded to the media prior to Thursday's scrimmage. - Birmingham News

03/26/21 - Anders Carlson, rSr/2023, Auburn, 6-5, 219 (DS#7 K) + More +

Before the 2020 season, Auburn kicker Anders Carlson felt he had the ability to be the best kicker in the nation. Looking back, he feels he was very close to accomplishing that goal. "I was proud of the season I had last year," Carlson said. "I had some goals set out and I was right there where I wanted to be. One or two kicks the other way and I think I could have been the top guy in the nation." Carlson finished his junior season with a 90 percent completion rate for field goals, going 20-22, and a 96 percent completion rate for extra point kicks, going 24-25. By the end of the season, Carlson rose in Auburn's history books to fourth in made field goals and sixth in scoring. Additionally, he averaged 62 yards per kickoff with touchbacks on 62 percent of them. He also finished the season with a diploma in hand. Since he graduated in December, Carlson could have joined his brother Daniel in the NFL or easily transferred to a school that isn't going through a coaching change. But he decided he loves Auburn so much he wants to spend all four years here. - Birmingham News

03/25/21 - Jeremiah Wright, rSr/2026, Auburn, 6-4, 348 (DS#5 OG) + More +

Auburn's defensive front was always going to look different under new defensive coordinator Derek Mason, but few would have expected that new look, through the first week of spring practices at least, would prominently feature a former offensive lineman. Jeremiah Wright, a sophomore who originally signed with Auburn as an offensive lineman as part of the Tigers' 2020 class, has made an early surge up Auburn's fluid depth chart-or pecking order, as head coach Bryan Harsin has termed it-this spring. Wright was seen working with the first-team defense at defensive tackle in both the Tigers' three- and four-man fronts during Saturday's open practice, lining up between fellow tackle Tyrone Truesdell and defensive end Colby Wooden.

"Jeremiah is a talented dude," Mason said. "He loves ball. I think for him, he feels natural on the defensive side of the ball…. He's getting better every time he hits the grass. Coach (Nick) Eason loves his temperament; he's a work, hard work guy. So, right now, that's where he sits. He's going to stay in that mode until we get through these 15 practices, and then we'll get a chance to evaluate where he is. But right now, I love where he's going." - Birmingham News

03/23/21 - *Tank Bigsby, Jr/2023, Auburn, 6-0, 215 (DS#8 RB) + More +

Cadillac Williams often talks to Tank Bigsby about legacy. Specifically, the legacy of his position at Auburn, where great running backs have been aplenty throughout the years. Williams, himself a former All-America running back at Auburn, reminds Bigsby of the names of those who came before him - running backs like Bo Jackson, Ronnie Brown, Joe Cribbs, James Brooks, Ben Tate, Tre Mason and Kerryon Johnson, among others; the list is staggering. Then Williams likes to challenge his protégé to do what it takes to add his name to that list. "Of course, I want to be the next, and I just hold myself to a high accountability," Bigsby said. That's the opportunity facing Bigsby after a breakout freshman campaign at Auburn last season. The former four-star prospect rushed for 834 yards and five touchdowns in 10 games in 2020, averaging 6.04 yards per carry while cementing himself as Auburn's RB1 and taking home SEC Freshman of the Year honors. - Birmingham News

03/20/21 - Christian Tutt, Jr/2021, Auburn, 5-10, 180 (DS#48 CB) + More +

Auburn nickelback Christian Tutt was the center of plenty of questions this offseason following his apparent departure from the program. After Thursday's Pro Day, Tutt explained the series of events that led to him declaring for the 2021 NFL Draft. Tutt said playing in the NFL has always been a dream of his, and as the end of the Tigers' 2020 regular season drew closer he began thinking it could come true sooner rather than later. Tutt, who had been injured against Texas A&M on Dec. 5 and did not play the next week against Mississippi State, found out about Gus Malzahn's firing on Dec. 13 when Malzahn met with the team in the indoor practice facility. Shortly thereafter, Tutt sat in on meetings with defensive coordinator Kevin Steele and defensive backs coach Wesley McGriff, who Tutt said explained what was going on behind the scenes. Tutt said his conversations with Steele and McGriff kept him ahead of the eight-ball, and after playing for two defensive backs coaches at Auburn he was determined to go elsewhere. - Opelika-Auburn News

03/17/21 - T.D. Moultry, rSr/2022, Auburn, 6-1, 246 (DS#36 OLB) + More +

Entering spring practice, Auburn was expected to only have two "super seniors" - players who would have graduated in 2020 but will instead utilize the NCAA's extra year of eligibility due to the pandemic. As it turns out, the Tigers will have several more veteran players returning than previously anticipated. Auburn will have seven super seniors on this year's roster in quarterback Grant Loy, wide receiver James Owens Moss, offensive lineman Prince Michael Sammons, defensive linemen Tyrone Truesdell and TD Moultry and defensive backs Malcolm Askew and Devin Guice. An eighth returning senior, linebacker Chandler Wooten, would have exhausted his NCAA eligibility last season but opted out due to coronavirus concerns. Loy, Truesdell and Wooten were the only 2020 seniors whose returns were previously confirmed. - Opelika-Auburn News

03/16/21 - Brandon Council, rSr/2023, Auburn, 6-3, 302 (DS#53 OG) + More +

Auburn opened spring practice Monday with a handful of players expected to miss time or be limited in some capacity due to injury. First-year coach Bryan Harsin said that seven Tigers will see their spring season impacted by injuries: offensive lineman Brandon Council, wide receivers Shedrick Jackson and Ze'Vian Capers, defensive backs Marco Domio, Zion Puckett and Ahmari Harvery, and linebacker Desmond Tisdol. Council, who sustained a severe knee injury in October, will be out for the spring while recovering from that injury as well as a shoulder injury, according to Harsin. The former Akron grad transfer started five games along the offensive line, including four at right guard last season before his injury. - Birmingham News

03/12/21 - Smoke Monday, rSr/2022, Auburn, 6-2, 207 (DS#7 FS) + More +

Replacing a pair of proven veterans like Sherwood and Peters isn't easy. Sherwood started 10 games last season and finished third on the team in tackles, while Peters appeared in all 11 games with three starts and had incredibly versatility in the secondary and on special teams. But the return of Monday, who also considered leaving early for the NFL, is big for the back end of Auburn's defense. Monday has been a major contributor since Day 1 on campus, when he earned a spot in the safety rotation as a freshman. He parlayed that into a starting job last year and finished fourth on the team in tackles. Now he'll be the veteran presence at safety for Auburn, and the Tigers will need to lean on his experience on the back end this offseason. - Birmingham News

03/12/21 - Roger McCreary, Sr/2022, Auburn, 5-11, 191 (DS#6 CB) + More +

New Auburn cornerbacks coach Zac Etheridge is walking into a situation that appears pretty close to ideal with his new position group this spring. Auburn welcomes back its top-two corners from last year - Roger McCreary and Nehemiah Pritchett - who might constitute one of to top cornerback duos in the SEC, if not the country, this season. In his first year as Auburn's top cornerback, McCreary looked the part, following in the footsteps of recent highly productive Auburn corners Noah Igbinoghene, Jamel Dean and Carlton Davis. Now McCreary, who could have declared for the draft early, is back for a second year as Auburn's No. 1 guy. - Birmingham News

03/11/21 - Zakoby McClain, Sr/2022, Auburn, 6-0, 227 (DS#17 OLB) + More +

Auburn's linebacker group entered last season expecting to be among the SEC's best, and despite the preseason opt-out of Chandler Wooten and an early-season injury to team captain K.J. Britt, the linebacker corps did not disappoint. That was largely due to the play of Zakoby McClain and Owen Pappoe - and it's why this group should again be among the league's bet at the position. McClain stepped up in a major way as a junior after making a name for himself in the 2019 Iron Bowl. He slid into the starting spot vacated by Britt and proceeded to lead the SEC and tie for the FBS lead in tackles, with 113. "Ricochet Rabbit," as he's known, somehow didn't earn All-SEC honors last fall - leaving a chip on his shoulder heading into his senior season. - Birmingham News

Four former Auburn players have been invited to participate in this year's NFL Combine, which is taking on a different format this year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Wide receivers Seth Williams and Anthony Schwartz, safety Jamien Sherwood and linebacker K.J. Britt were among the 323 prospects invited to participate in this year's annual scouting event, the NFL announced Wednesday. Schwartz previously announced his invite on social media last month. Williams led Auburn in receiving yards each of the last two seasons, including 760 and four touchdowns on 47 receptions as a junior last fall before declaring early for the draft. - Birmingham News

02/04/21 - Eku Leota, Sr/2023, Auburn, 6-3, 263 (DS#32 DE) + More +

While Eku Leota did not play in the Citrus Bowl, he was on the roster of the team that most recently beat Auburn, the Northwestern Wildcats. Leota played eight games in 2020 and while he made just 13 tackles, he recorded four sacks and was named to the All-Big Ten third team. In his two seasons as a Wildcat, he recorded 6.5 sacks. The 6-foot-4, 250-pound defensive end announced Saturday that he planned to graduate transfer to Auburn. Leota is originally from North Carolina. He played just two seasons at Northwestern, one of which does not count against his eligibility. "A graduate transfer here but a guy that's all about the fit, the culture and things that we talked about here, his development, being part of this program and wanting to be here," Harsin said. "It was good to get to know him and his family. We're looking forward to him being a guy on the edge for us that can provide that pass-rush. He's a very good player, developed, will have his degree and has three years to come in here and be a part of this program." - Birmingham News
