  2. auburnwire.usatoday.com Auburn football: Nonconference tilt listed among best matchups of 2023 Taylor Jones ~2 minutes Auburn football’s 2023 slate features one of the more unique nonconference games in all of college football, which is a Sept. 9 date in Berkeley, California against the California Golden Bears. Auburn and Cal have never met on the gridiron before, but one college football expert says that this game is worth keeping an eye on. Buy Tigers Tickets Grant Hughes of 247Sports recently dropped his picks for the 23 best matchups of the 2023 season, and the early season, nonconference tilt made the cut. Hughes says that Auburn’s quarterback situation could dictate the outcome of the contest. Cal’s home opener presents one of the most intriguing culture shocks of the season as Auburn makes the long trip out west for its first-ever matchup with the Golden Bears at California Memorial Stadium. As it stands, Auburn has three players vying to be Hugh Freeze’s first starting quarterback at Auburn. Starter Robby Ashford returns after an up-and-down 2022 season, along with junior T.J. Finley and redshirt freshman Holden Geriner. Whoever wins the starting job will look to keep Cal from claiming its first win against an SEC opponent since its 28-20 win over Ole Miss in 2019. According to records compiled by Winsipedia, Auburn is 10-3 all-time against teams from the Pac 12, with their most recent win coming against Oregon in the 2019 season opener. The Tigers have also claimed wins over Washington, Washington State, Oregon State, Colorado, Arizona, and USC. As for Cal, they are 11-11 all-time against SEC foes.

  3. All eyes on Tigers football program Auburn Football A-Day By Briana Jones Published: Mar. 30, 2023 at 12:10 PM CDT AUBURN, Ala. (WTVY) - Auburn’s annual A-day game is listed as one of the most important spring games in all of college football. That’s because there are high expectations for the team’s new coaching staff. Last season, Auburn gave up nearly 30 points each game and allowed close to 400 yards. Every single opponent up against the Tigers was able to score in the red zone last season. It points a lot of fingers toward the Tiger’s new defensive coordinator Ron Roberts.

  4. 247sports.com 2025 Central WR Daylyn Upshaw 'feels like home' at Auburn Christian Clemente ~3 minutes Previous Auburn staffs have struggled to land elite talent and elite receivers from Central-Phenix City (Ala.) despite its close to proximity to the Plains. Justyn Ross, E.J. Williams and Karmello English have all been Auburn targets that have gone elsewhere. The new Auburn staff, led by Hugh Freeze and Marcus Davis as the new receivers coach, is looking to buck that trend in both the 2024 and 2025 class. Auburn hosted both 2024 5-star wide receiver and 2025 wide receiver Daylyn Upshaw from Central for a visit on Wednesday. For Upshaw, it was a trip well worth it. "It was very good," Upshaw said. "I enjoyed watching the practice and I just like the way that Auburn’s throwing the ball very deep and giving the receivers the ability to get open and win one-on-ones." Just 15 years old and still finishing his sophomore year of high school, Upshaw holds two early offers from two big-time programs: Auburn and Texas. "Coach Marcus is making a big push on me and I’m loving it," Upshaw said. "That means a lot to me because it shows they believe in me at a very young age." As a sophomore, Upshaw caught 30 passes for 442 yards and three touchdowns despite playing behind English, Coleman and Jet Wiley — a senior receiver who signed with Air Force. Still, Upshaw found his fair share of targets and started to make his mark in the recruiting process early. Looking at Auburn, the ability to potentially stay close to home is a big deal. "Yes sir it’s very close to home, my parents can come see my games and go back home and it feels like home to me," Upshaw said. "I just feel comfortable here. I’ve been on more visits, but this sticks out to me." Upshaw plans to visit Clemson this weekend. And while he doesn't have a return visit to Auburn locked in, he does have an open invite. "Coach Davis told me anytime I want to come down here let him know and he can make it happen," Upshaw said. 10COMMENTS Eventually, Upshaw will take over as WR1 at Central once Coleman graduates and signs with a college. Could he see his friend and teammate choosing Auburn? "Auburn, if they keep acting how they acting, they’ll eventually get Cam," Upshaw said. ">247Sports

  6. auburnwire.usatoday.com What is the one question that Auburn must answer ahead of the 2023 season? Taylor Jones 2–3 minutes Spring practice is winding down on Auburn’s campus, as we are just over a week away from the annual A-Day game. There have been plenty of positives, as well as a few bewilderments, about Auburn football during the spring period. But head coach Hugh Freeze is confident that he can get the ship turned around ahead of the 2023 season. Buy Tigers Tickets As the spring practice period is starting to heat up across the county, one college football analyst took time to examine each SEC program’s biggest question. What is Auburn’s biggest question? Barrett Sallee of CBS Sports would like to know who will be QB1 on the Plains. Dual-threat weapon Robby Ashford got the majority of the snaps for the Tigers last season after veteran pro-style signal-caller T.J. Finley suffered an injury in Week 3. It’s no secret that first-year coach Hugh Freeze went shopping in the transfer portal during the winter window, but it’s up to the two former starters to impress him between now and the Tigers’ spring game on April (8). Is Auburn’s quarterback on campus? Ashford has some work to do as a passer, and it has been difficult for Finley to stay healthy throughout his career. Although Freeze has been critical of his current quarterback situation, he says that the unit as a whole has improved over the last week. Ashford and Finley have each gotten reps this spring with the first-team offense, but true freshman Holden Geriner has made an impression on Freeze. “I thought (Geriner) really stood out all week with his improvement and his play,” Freeze said during a recent media availability. “Not that the others didn’t improve, but I thought his grasp of what we were trying to do, he was impressive with it last week.” Auburn fans will get their chance to make their own judgments about the quarterback room on Saturday, April 8 when the team takes the field at Jordan-Hare Stadium for the annual A-Day game.

  7. auburn.rivals.com AuburnSports - Alston’s ‘got gears in there’ Jay G. Tate AuburnSports Brown stepping up, making notes 1h ago 3–4 minutes AUBURN | Auburn’s new coaching staff gave its players a clean slate. An opportunity to compete for starting spots regardless of previous experience. But that doesn’t mean they didn’t enter spring practice with certain expectations. They’ve seen the film. They’ve watched the group go through winter workouts and spent plenty of time with them in meeting rooms. Some players have defied those expectations over the first four weeks of spring drills including sophomore running back Damari Alston. “He’s got really good vision. I think he’s learning to be more patient within his running style. And then when he hits it, he’s got a really good gear,” said first-year offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery. “I’ve thought from the start of spring camp, he’s the guy that’s probably surprised me a little bit more out of the running back room than anybody. “From day one, I thought he had a pretty good feel with what we were trying to do in the run game, with seeing it, setting up blocks and still had that physicality about him. But the speed that he brings, man, he’s got gears in there.” Alston’s has played so well this spring, he’s even caught the attention of the Tigers’ receiving corps. “Damari, he’s become a more patient back,” said wideout Camden Brown, who signed with Alston in the 2022 class. “From him coming in from last year to this year, he’s got a little bit more calm. He’s most definitely gotten more shiftier as well. He’ll break two to three runs each day at practice.” Alston credits his improvement to the work he’s put in during the offseason, setting a goal to become bigger, stronger and faster. “I’ve been working my tail off to just improve in those areas because I’m playing some big-boy ball in the SEC,” said Alston. “I’m just getting ready for that and I feel like by fall I’ll definitely be ready.” Alston is competing at one of AU’s strongest and deepest position even with the loss of three-year starter Tank Bigsby. Junior Jarquez Hunter, who has rushed for 1,268 yards and 10 touchdowns in two years, is the heir apparent. USF transfer Brian Battie joined the group in January and the nation’s No. 2 all-purpose back, Jeremiah Cobb, is expected to enroll at the end of May. “We know what Jarquez is going to bring and how tough he is and the physicality that he brings and being able to catch the ball out of the backfield and do those things,” said Montgomery. “But I think all of those guys are bringing the same thing to the table and I’ve been really impressed with that room. “I think they’ve got a chance to have a really special season when we all get it going in the right direction and they’re going to be a vital, vital, vital part of what we are.” The Tigers will hold their 12th practice of the spring Friday afternoon. The A-Day game is April 8.
  8. AuburnSports - Riley ready to create chaos Jay G. Tate AuburnSports Brown stepping up, making notes 1h ago ~3 minutes Cam Riley didn't hold back when talking about the difference in the culture of the Auburn football program from last year until now. From listening to the linebacker, things are running much more smoothly in every aspect. "This year, I would say the biggest change was everyone came together," Riley said. "I know you hear that a lot, but I actually kind of feel like everyone actually came together this year. I feel like there was a lot of things going on last year within the team that brought a lot of diversity and things like that, which caused a lot of division. But I felt like everyone actually came together and wants to play as one." That togetherness, Riley says, has made practice more fun, and, with that, the competition has been more intense. The 6-foot-5 junior enters his fourth straight season with a different position coach (Josh Aldridge) and defensive coordinator (Ron Roberts.) The latter admits to expecting a lot from his linebacker group, which Riley agreed upon. "We have to be more vocal with lining up the defense and communicating calls and stuff like that," he said. "Linebackers are the quarterbacks of the defense, so we (have) a big job getting the call across the field and making sure everyone in front is lined up properly, the defensive line." Robert is always known to call more inside blitzes from his linebackers, something Riley is hyped about after recording no sacks last season. The Evergreen, Ala., native also expects to see time on the outside at the Jack position thanks to his length and has been working accordingly to make himself a smaller target for opposing blockers. "I would say my biggest thing is me working on my pad level and staying low," Riley said. "Because I have a tendency of standing high at times, which can cause problems because sometimes it may cause me to crossover. But with me staying lower, I feel like it'll help me out with me being able to move side to side quicker." As for the rest of the linebacker room, with the addition of Demario Tolan from LSU and Austin Keys from Ole Miss, along with an improved Wesley Steiner, Riley sees a group that could end up a significant strength for the Tigers this season. "At this point, we got a lot of older guys in the room, so it kind of helps out—about four veterans we have now, so with three or four of us having SEC experience already, it kind of helps out going into the season and the spring as well, just stacking reps on top of reps with everybody," he said.
  9. 247sports.com #PMARSHONAU: After two lost seasons, positive vibe grows around Auburn football Phillip Marshall 4–5 minutes Hugh Freeze’s challenge is not new. Coaches at the highest level of college football have faced the same challenge for decades. New head coaches especially those taking over struggling programs with histories of success, have missions that are in conflict with each other. They want to create excitement among the donors, the fan base at large, students and their own players. And they want to keep expectations from getting out of control. Freeze takes over an Auburn program knocked to its knees in the two failed seasons of the failed experiment called Bryan Harsin. He is the first Auburn coach since Shug Jordan in 1951 to take over the Auburn program on the heels of consecutive seasons with losing records. The vibe around the Auburn program was decidedly negative last fall. Cadillac Williams started the rebirth in four games as interim head coach after Harsin was fired. From the time Freeze was named head coach on Noc.18 hope and optimism have grown steadily. It started and continues with an all-out recruiting push, but it’s more than that. As Auburn approaches the end of spring practice, there is growing hope and optimism. Freeze knows what life is like in the SEC. He knows signing players who can play and win at that level is where it all starts. And from the day he took the job, he has been driven by that knowledge. Meanwhile, Freeze is cautious. He welcomes the positive vibe growing his program. He also recognizes that two losing seasons happened for a reason. “Every place our staff has gone we have been able to create a buzz and excitement fairly quickly around recruiting,” Freeze said. “I certainly didn’t expect Auburn to be any less than that.” Freeze said he has been so focused on recruiting and on building his first Auburn team that he has been somewhat insulated from the general excitement and optimism that better days are coming. Ironically, two of Auburn’s greatest seasons came with new coaches. Auburn was 5-5-1 in 1992, Pat Dye’s final season. Terry Bowden went 11-0 in 1993. In 2012, Gene Chizik’s fourth season, Auburn went 3-9, its worst record since going 0-10 in 1950. In 2013, Gus Malzahn took over. Auburn went 12-2, won the SEC championship and played for the national championship. Bowden took over a team that, despite its record, had a top-five defense in 1992. He added a more imaginative offense to a team built by Dye and won 20 straight games. Malzahn took over a team with far more talent than the misery of 2012 indicated. He added quarterback Nick Marshall, and it took off. Jordan went 5-5 in his first Auburn season, and that was a rampaging success coming off an 0-10 season. Both Dye and Tuberville went 5-6 in their first seasons. Coming off a 5-7 record in Tuberville’s last season, Chizik went 8-5 in his debut. Freeze did not inherit a team loaded with talent. He inherited one that had lost 30-plus former signees to the transfer portal. But he has an advantage those coaches didn’t have – the transfer portal and penalty-free movement from one program to another. Freeze has already mined the transfer portal, but he wants more. He made that clear at his press conference on Monday. Can he get enough help from transfers and help from enough true freshmen to make a move back toward the top of the SEC West? Maybe and maybe not. 7COMMENTS High expectations make coaches, especially new ones, nervous. But they come right along with the millions of dollars those coaches are paid. The fair expectation for Freeze’s first season is that the Tigers play with passion, don’t back down and show the program is on an upward trajectory again. The record? With a new staff and a significant number of new players, there are so many unknowns and so many questions. Answers are still months away. ">247Sports
  10. si.com Auburn football projected to be College Football Playoff contender in 2025 Lance Dawe 3–4 minutes The Tigers are projected to be in contention for the field once 2025 rolls around. "I think we'll know when we have the '24 and '25 (recruiting) class, if we're not in that top 10 range they'll probably be firing me in year four or year five." That's what Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze said to ESPN's Heather Dinich about the trajectory of the Tigers' recruiting underneath his watch. READ: Hugh Freeze is revitalizing Auburn football's recruiting "I think everybody knows (Auburn AD John Cohen and president Christopher Roberts) gotta give us a chance to get a couple top classes in here. If we don't do that, and are able to still win, it would be a miracle. How anybody really closes it on those two ... the challenge is tall. The '24 and '25 class are going to be critical." In Freeze's first season on the Plains, Auburn landed the No. 18 class nationally. It's a starting point for certain but if Auburn is going to rise back to where it was just a few short seasons ago, they'll need recruiting to improve significantly. Brad Crawford of 247 Sports recently wrote future rankings for college football, detailing how he believes the top 25 will look over the next three seasons. According to the article, it might be a good idea to invest in Hugh Freeze while the opportunity is still available. In this upcoming season, Crawford says the Tigers will be a borderline Top 25 team. In 2024, a top 25 team, and in 2025 Hugh Freeze and Auburn will be an expanded college football playoff contender. The SEC is expected to become more competitive with its expansion, but Auburn's draw may still offer an affordable buy-in price for investors. Freeze has a history of success in the league with Ole Miss and has consistently been able to recruit talented players. Despite this, he has not had the opportunity to showcase his abilities with the resources available at Auburn. Auburn Undercover's Nathan King sounded off in the article on the revitalization of the program, and what the Tigers' trajectory is heading into 2025: "Freeze salvaged the Tigers’ 2023 class back into the top 20 nationally, and now the kind of talent Auburn is getting on campus — and is actually a contender for — is more akin to where the program was under Gus Malzahn," King said. "Can Freeze be an even better recruiter than Malzahn? Maybe. He’s made it his No. 1 priority as head coach, and has been steady in his message that the 2024 and 2025 classes are going to shape Auburn’s trajectory as a program heading into a new SEC and an expanded College Football Playoff." The foundation is being laid for Auburn. Now, as we wade into the offseason, we will be given more answers as to how the next recruiting class for Hugh Freeze will improve upon what has been started.
