Overview
- At SEC Media Days coach Alex Golesh said Auburn will install a trench-first, physical offensive identity and is prioritizing a multi-year rebuild of the offensive line.
- Golesh brought quarterback Byrum Brown from South Florida and highlighted Brown’s familiarity with the system as a way to accelerate installation of the offense.
- Brown described a big boost in confidence under Golesh and pointed to daily work against Auburn’s defense as key to his development and readiness.
- Golesh confirmed several starting jobs remain unsettled entering preseason, naming offensive-line depth, the running back rotation, the receiver room, and the defensive back end as open competitions.
- The program will use fall camp and the neutral-site opener in Atlanta against Baylor to see whether Brown’s strong Group-of-Six production translates to sustained SEC play and to measure progress in the trenches.
