Observations From Auburn Football's First Viewing Window Of Spring Practice
Auburn has started the second spring camp of the Hugh Freeze era.
The Auburn football program was kind enough to allow the media a few minutes to see the first practice of camp. Here are a few observations.
There wasn't a ton to see as positions were divided up doing individual work and changed the order as they cycled through drills.
- My biggest impression is that Malik Blocton is huge. I get why he was getting so much love from folks within the program during the bowl practices. He does not look like a freshman.
- Transfer lineman Gage Keys has a long frame and was able to move it well in drills.
- Trill Carter followed Jayson Jones in the drills that I watched. He's built low to the ground. I imagine he will find it hard to move in the trenches.
- The quarterback rotation started out as Payton Thorne, Holden Geriner, Hank Brown, and Walker White. They rotated and changed order after the first cycle.
- The offensive line worked in duos for most of the time while we were out there. Here were the most common couples that I noticed:
Percy Lewis and Dillon Wade
Seth Wilfred and EJ Harris
Dylan Senda and Clay Wedin
Jeremiah Wright and Izavion Miller
At the end of the viewing window, I watched all the quarterbacks make quality throws to pass catchers. One that stood out to me was transfer tight end Rico Walker. I thought he moved well for his size. I also noticed a lot of Koy Moore - he seemed shifty and was eager to turn and show a burst after the catch.
