Auburn lands two players on the prestigious Maxwell Award Watch List — Jackson Arnold and Cam Coleman. Auburn is one of just four SEC programs and fewer than 20 schools nationally to have multiple players honored. A major nod to the talent on this roster.

With fall camp kicking off tomorrow, Hugh Freeze takes the podium beforehand. What should we expect from his comments? Will he address the ongoing Malcolm Simmons situation? We break it all down and set the stage for what could be a pivotal stretch for Auburn football.

Cole Cubelic raised some eyebrows last week when he said he’s “down on Auburn” after hearing Hugh Freeze was taking it easy on Jackson Arnold to help rebuild his confidence. But is that really what’s happening — or is this being blown out of proportion?

We dive into what it actually takes to rebuild a quarterback’s confidence, whether Auburn has handled it the right way so far, and how (or if) this changes expectations for Jackson Arnold heading into the season.

We analyze returning contributors, incoming freshmen, and key transfers to forecast Bruce Pearl’s likely rotation and the roles that will define Auburn’s season. With a mix of experience and young talent, the Tigers are built to contend—and we’ve got the stats to prove it.

Is Auburn surging for a 5-star? After a tough summer on the recruiting trail, landing a blue-chip prospect would be a massive momentum shift — and a key family connection could swing things in Auburn’s favor.

Off the field, Auburn continues to strengthen its recruiting operation with two big hires: a veteran college staffer and a former NFL executive. The pieces are being put in place… now it’s time to get to work.

Oh — and fall camp kicks off in just 6 days. Auburn needs it badly. Let’s ride.

The new NIL ruling officially recognizes collectives as legitimate businesses — and that could be a huge win for Auburn. While some schools disbanded or restructured their collectives, Auburn never backed off. Now, with the green light for collectives to do deals directly with players, Auburn may be in position to capitalize quickly.

Does this validate John Cohen’s patient approach, or does it expose missed opportunities? We dive into what this means for recruiting, NIL structure, and how Auburn can get out in front.

Plus… why does there always have to be a “boogeyman” for Auburn fans to blame when things go wrong?

Hugh Freeze’s confidence at SEC Media Days was impossible to miss — and honestly, it feels refreshingly different in the best way possible. This wasn’t false bravado — it was a coach who believes in his roster and is ready to prove something.

We also break down some of the dumbest questions asked during the week (there were some doozies) and call out the biggest losers of Media Days. Spoiler: not every coach handled the spotlight like Hugh did.
