The Auburn Tigers had a top-10 recruiting class in 2024. Still, it's not easy breaking into the lineup of an SEC team as a freshman.
Playing FBS football as a freshman seems difficult enough. More experienced players sit ahead of you on the depth chart. Coaches believe in these players. For those players brought into the school by that coaching staff must produce, in order for said staff to remain employed.
A coach can’t afford to let a player work through his growing pains on the field. He needs instant results in an era of eight-figure contracts. As a result, successful players that brought wins to campus enjoy a certain prestige, a cache that allows them the ability to keep their jobs over an unproven freshman. Remember, those high school star rankings evaporate when that player hits campus. Now, when you pad up and line up, you play for something much bigger than any city. An entire region and an extendedfor the Tigers. However, look for fellow freshman wideout Perry Thompson to battle for time.
The more he accumulated in practice while executing, the more likely of a chance that you will see him line up on the outside. With his strength, you can see Thompson hand fighting and winning contested passes. Additionally, on vertical routes, he possesses speed and bursts to leave corners in his wake. As 2024 progresses, watch for Thompson to earn more field time, possibly giving Auburn their first freshman wideout duo in years.last week with two touchdowns.
Collisions, since the time of leather helmets blended into the background as an aspect of the game that many expect, some relish and all will stop to watch. Meanwhile, on The Plains, true freshman defenders could truly struggle with seeing the field. CornerbackCrawford's ability to mirror and anticipate should make him the likeliest freshmen to play extensively on defense. Especially if the team wants to spread the Tigers out.
