247sports.com Tigers look better in preseason after offseason with new strength staff Nathan King 3–4 minutes Everyone’s a winner in the offseason, especially when it comes to a new strength and conditioning program under a first-year staff. But the Tigers had real conditioning issues last season while careening under Bryan Harsin, and senior defensive lineman Marcus Harris isn’t the first player to mention getting gassed in the second half of games. When Hugh Freeze was hired, he brought over head strength coach Dominic Studzinski, who’s been with Freeze since he began at Ole Miss in 2012. From winter workouts to summer conditioning, Freeze said he’s been pleased with the progress Studzinski has made with Auburn’s roster, both returning pieces and newcomers. Ahead of the team’s first day of preseason practice Thursday, Freeze said the table had been set nicely for the Tigers to make strides in the department from the spring to the fall, noting, “I think we're bigger and stronger, look better.” Harris, now entering his third year as a starting defensive lineman, admitted that he wasn’t in the best shape last year, and saw his play and production noticeably decline over the course of games. “Just getting stronger and faster and more durable,” Harris said. “My film last year, I was doing good in the first couple quarters and then by the end of the game I’d get kind of tired. Just building myself and getting more in shape.” Of course, there were a myriad of factors that played into Auburn’s 2022 season, which featured the team’s first losing record in the regular season, including a five-game skid that saw Harsin fired after the fourth straight loss. But the Tigers often faded in the second half, being outscored 106-47 after halftime in their six losses before Harsin was shown the door. The Tigers believe they’re now in a better spot physically under the new staff. “Yeah, (Studzinski) got us right,” Harris said with a smile Friday. But even with the start of preseason camp, Auburn obviously won't be cooling off from its offseason of work in the strength program. Harris said he already feels better conditioned after Studzinski's tempo-based approach in the summer, and prepared for the grind of 25 practices in camp ahead of the season opener Sept. 2. “Just the up-tempo pace — everything is up-tempo,” Harris said. “Everything is quick. We ran a lot this summer. It's just the dedication and time. It pushes us to get better. We can't get comfortable. One week, we had to max out. The next week, everyone's trying to top that max. We're not just staying at that level. Every week, we're trying to progress and get stronger. That's one thing that we did differently this year. Every week, we're trying to go up a weight.” Auburn returns to the practice field Friday afternoon. *** Subscribe to Auburn Undercover for the latest news and intel, podcasts, recruiting coverage and more *** *** Get Auburn news straight to your inbox with the Auburn Undercover newsletter ***

theplainsman.com Tyler Fromm previews tight end room ahead of 2023 season - The Auburn Plainsman 4–5 minutes Dating back to his time at Ole Miss, Hugh Freeze always has plans to make the tight end a vital part of his offense. Freeze produced Evan Engram, an NFL tight end for six years and counting, with the Rebels, and now in his first season at Auburn, has an experienced group he can use for the 2023 season. Freeze grabbed Rivaldo Fairweather from Florida International in the transfer portal, but also has veterans in his tight end group in Tyler Fromm, Luke Deal and Brandon Frazier, all seniors. Fromm, who is entering his fifth season with the Tigers, is now with his third head coach at Auburn and said he's "pretty much transferred like three times already to just stay in the same place," gave his outlook and expectations for his position group for the upcoming season. "Honestly, just to ball out," Fromm said. "I want all the guys to just get after it on the field. I hope that we're a threat just as much as the receivers are... I'm excited about it for everybody." Fairweather is the only newcomer among the tight end group but practiced with the team in the spring. Because of Fairweather's early entry to the program plus the three seniors spending at least four years together, Fromm felt the tight end group has bonded well through the spring and summer. Calling the tight end room the "tightest-knit group," Fromm said he thinks his group of guys will be "really fun to see in the fall." As Fromm has been at Auburn since 2019, he's seen Auburn through the highs and lows. Because of that experience and witnessing how different coaches handle a program differently, Fromm is aiming to be a leader among the whole team. "I always want to be the guy that people can look at and lean on... even if it's not a vocal thing, I still want people to see what I'm doing for the younger guys for them to look up to me and just see how I handle things and how I approach workouts, academics, practice and all that stuff. I want to be that guy for them," Fromm said. One of the young guys Fromm often finds himself around is Micah Riley, a redshirt freshman in the tight end room. Rated as a 4-star out of high school according to the 247Sports composite rankings, Riley only played in four games in 2023, but Fromm has high expectations for him entering his second season on the Plains. "He's gotten more comfortable just being a tight end and being in college football," Fromm said. "Every single practice and every rep he has he's always trying to figure out what he can do better, and he's always asking questions to figure that out. He's just really taken the student approach to the game, and he's gotten way better... so he's been really good. He's gonna be a threat, for sure." Fromm and the rest of the tight end group begin the season in just under a month with Auburn's season opener set for Sept. 2 at 2:30 p.m. CST against UMass. The game will be televised on ESPN.

auburnwire.usatoday.com Watch: A look at Payton Thorne's first day at fall camp Taylor Jones ~2 minutes As Auburn football begins fall camp, most fans are curious to see how the quarterback battle will shake out. Payton Thorne kicked off Thursday’s opening practice by taking snaps with the first team while Robby Ashford was surprisingly participating with the third string. Redshirt freshman Holden Geriner took reps with the second string. Buy Tigers Tickets That lineup should not concern Auburn fans, as Hugh Freeze mentioned during his introductory press conference that each quarterback will rotate reps with each unit throughout the spring. How long will this competition last? Freeze says that he hopes to name a starter before week three, but says that the battle could spill into Auburn’s game with Samford on Sept. 16. “I am cautiously optimistic that we can win some football games with several of those guys,” Freeze said Thursday. “It may be three games into the season before we know this is absolutely the guy. I hope that’s not the case, but it could be.” Ashford and Geriner have a year under their belt, but Thorne is still new to the Auburn scene. He was able to hit the practice field for the first time in his Auburn career on Thursday. While we wait for the competition to unfold, here is a look at Thorne’s first day of fall camp compliments of AL.com: Contact/Follow us @TheAuburnWire on Twitter, and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Auburn news, notes, and opinion.

247sports.com PMARSHONAU After uncertain times Auburn players go forward together Phillip Marshall 4–5 minutes The uncertainty of last October has been replaced by the optimism of August AUBURN, Alabama – It was just more than nine months ago that Auburn football players found themselves in a place they never expected to be. Two days earlier, they had lost for the fourth consecutive time in a humbling 41-27 beatdown by Arkansas at Jordan-Hare Stadium. On Halloween, they got the word. Head coach Bryan Harsin had been fired. Now, it’s early August. The Tigers are in their second day of preseason camp. The uncertainty of last fall has dissipated. Optimism is in the air again. That started with interim coach Cadillac Williams and took off after Hugh Freeze was named head coach in December. Tight end Tyler Fromm has seen the upheaval, the celebrations, the joy and the heartache. Including Williams’ interim tenure, Freeze is his fourth Auburn head coach. “Obviously we’ve had a lot of ups and downs,” Fromm said. “Since, I guess, that point in October, we have had a really good momentum swing going into spring, and just having Coach Freeze and all of his staff. Obviously, it’s going to be less ball kind of in the winter time and more with the strength staff, and our strength staff has just been incredible working with us. Our team just got really close. We’re just working together. The vibes have been awesome.” Defensive lineman Marcus Harris, heading toward his second Auburn season after transferring from Kansas, saluted his teammates for changing those vibes. “It’s just a testament of the team,” Harris said. “… We already knew last year when stuff was happening and Coach Harsin was fired and Coach Cadillac had to step up, we knew the team had to get better and bond as a team. We just got together as a team and decided that this is our team; whatever coach is going to come, he’s just going to add to the value. It’s got to start from a team and team players and team leaders. That’s what we did, we started looking for team leaders and found team leaders and then getting everybody to buy into team leaders.” The dynamics of a college football team, with so many players from such different backgrounds, are unique. The price all of them play in sweat blood is high. What sounds good is not always easy to pull off. A united football team can play above expectations, even above its own talent level. A divided football team is doomed to fail. More than 40 Auburn players – incoming freshmen and transfers – weren’t around last October when everything fell apart. They, too, would have to buy into it all. “That was the most difficult part, just getting to know people and just genuinely getting to know their stories,” Harris said. “If you know everybody’s story, you’ll know why they play the game, why they play so hard. That’s the most difficult part, just trying to get to know everybody on a personal level before you get out on the field and play with them. “It’s been getting better over the summer and then especially during fall camp. You have so much time to get to know each other. All the new transfers we had, they’re open to talk to us and express themselves. That has made it very easy for us.” The road ahead is treacherous. Positive vibes alone won’t beat Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Texas A&M and all the rest. But playing, working and living with one heartbeat is where it begins.

al.com Observations from the first two days of Auburn preseason practices Published: Aug. 04, 2023, 5:00 p.m. 6–7 minutes The first two days of Auburn’s preseason practices have wrapped up Friday afternoon. The quarterback battle will be the biggest on-field story, and through two days there may be a few beginning inkling of the hierarchy. But it’s not the only open job on Auburn’s roster, far from it, and the on-field stories may not be as crucial as the off-field ones. Here are some observations, notes and storylines from the first two days of camp. Who wasn’t there may outshine who was We can start with the obvious one. Junior running back Jarquez Hunter didn’t practice on either Thursday or Friday during the open period with media members. His status remains clouded by uncertainty. Following the release of a sex tape allegedly depicting Hunter, Auburn announced it had given indefinite suspensions to some football players but didn’t say who, how many, or why. Sophomore safety Caleb Wooden was not at either of Auburn’s first two practices either. Junior wide receiver Koy Moore has been at practice and in uniform, but was not a full participant. On Friday, he stood off to the side during offensive team drills, and at the end of the period open to reporters, was in the indoor field seeming to be stretching with a coach. It’s unclear what specifically is keeping Moore out. Your scheduled quarterback update Through two days of fall camp, Michigan State transfer Payton Throne has been the first quarterback taking snaps with the presumed first-team offensive line group. In the time open to reporters, Thorne hasn’t shown anything particularly notable for the practice highlight reel, but he has been reliable and precise with most of his throws. It’s unclear to what extent he feels comfortable with a new offense at this point, and how much of the playbook is being opened up in team drills with media present. Sophomore Holden Geriner has been the second quarterback out each of the first two days, and may have shown the best flashes of Auburn’s main trio. His deep ball touch has been the best of the quarterback room so far. Head coach Hugh Freeze frequently would bring up Geriner before Throne or Robby Ashford when discussing Auburn’s quarterbacks, and while he may not win the job, it certainly makes sense why Freeze is a believer. Ashford may have the most potential of any quarterback on the roster, but he’s struggled during the open periods. Ashford showed many flashes of elite play when he took over as Auburn’s starter at the end of last season. But through two days of fall camp, many of his limitations — especially with regard to accuracy — have shown. On Friday, Ashford underthrew a crossing route in the flat to his left side, leading to an incompletion. Later in the team drill, he threw a deep ball down the right sideline and while the pass was completed, the wobbly, underthrown ball likely would not have been if the offense was not playing against air. On Thursday, Ashford hardly threw the ball at all during the same team drill. Most of his plays were designed runs. Last season, Ashford has a 49.2% completion rate. Though all quarterback observations do come with the caveat of the media watching quarterbacks play without facing a secondary. Okay, outside of quarterbacks, who might be starting? Let’s start with the offense. That offensive line group Thorne was throwing behind? Those five remained the same during the first two days of practice, and shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Tulsa transfer Dillon Wade played left tackle, junior Tate Johnson lined up at left guard, East Carolina transfer Avery Jones was the center, senior Kam Stutts played right guard and Western Kentucky transfer Gunner Britton was the right tackle. Yet while that group seems fairly stead-fast, they were surrounded by a ton of skill position rotation. Maybe the most notable player to see time in team drills with the first group of offensive linemen and Thorne was freshman running back Jeremiah Cobb. Cobb could be in for a huge role if Auburn is without Hunter. Damari Alston played with Thorne on Thursday. In terms of wide receivers, the group has been far from set. On Thursday senior Ja’Varrius Johnson lined with the third group on offense, but on Friday was with Thorne. Sophomore Cam Brown and junior Malcolm Johnson Jr. were also with Thorne’s group along with FIU transfer tight end Rivaldo Fairweather. Transfers Nick Mardner and Shane Hooks have each stood out purely from their height, though Caleb Burton has been the most impactful big-play receiver of the group of new guys to this point. Again, all needs to be taken with a grain of salt without facing a secondary in front of media. Okay, so how about the defense? The first group on the defensive front was jack linebacker Elijah McAllister, defensive linemen Marcus Harris, Jayson Jones and defensive end Mosiah Nasili-Kite. Austin Keys and Eugene Asante lined up in the middle as the linebackers and Keionte Scott, D.J. James and Nehemiah Pritchett were the first corners in defensive drills. Jaylen Simpson was the first safety. Much of that is as expected. Highly touted freshman Keldric Faulk lined up as a defensive end on the second group of defensive players. He is listed on the roster at 6-foot-6, 288 pounds. A final defensive note: Auburn had some freshmen in the secondary shadowing the presumptive starters, seemingly as a means of learning from Auburn’s top guys in a secondary room that seems to be a team strength.

ALL of them. anyone who had a hand in jan 6 needs to pay. if hunter is guilty get him. hell if joe is guilty get em! just about all the pols are getting rich and not doing their jobs. i am sick of it. and if they are not guilty let them alone. but trump is guilty as hell on a ton of things and only a fool would think he is not. the thing is if you guys swapped trump for joe you guys would love it.

it was posted on reddit. this is all i know. but i hope they get every single guilty party. lock em up!!!! remember when trump would holler that and the crowd chanted it with him and they are beginning to get locked up alright.

well when i saw the sad emojie i thought just do it and if no one else likes it so be it. but it seems i am a bad guy for not posting in the fall camp thread. but it is still football and i can barely keep up with my own thread. thanx for viewing
