Hugh Freeze had some telling comments after Auburn’s latest fall camp practice — and a few names stood out in a big way. He praised Malcolm Simmons and Perry Thompson for making the biggest year-over-year jumps, especially in learning how to run routes with precision and understanding defensive concepts. That’s a scary combo when you add in their elite athleticism.

Freeze also highlighted the offensive line — not just improving, but getting deeper. It may no longer be just a “starting five”... Auburn could have a legit starting seven up front. That’s a game-changer in the SEC.

With a scrimmage coming Friday, we break down what to watch for and why things are trending in the right direction.

Fall camp is in full swing, and while Jackson Arnold is clearly Auburn’s starting quarterback, the buzz around him has been more steady than spectacular. So what’s really going on behind the scenes? What does Arnold need to show to silence the doubters before they start clamoring for the backup (as Auburn fans love to do)? We also look at who’s emerging as QB2, how the staff is handling Deuce Knight’s development, and why managing this room correctly could define Auburn’s entire season. Let’s dig into the most important position on the field and separate fact from fan fiction.

Perry Thompson is making serious noise to start fall camp — and it’s not just hype. His size, speed, and early performance are exactly what Auburn’s offense needs. But this is bigger than just on-field production… Perry’s success sends a message: you don’t have to go to Alabama to be great. You can thrive at Auburn.

We also take a minute to respond to one of the most wildly negative YouTube comments we've seen — a take so bad it’s almost impressive. Some Auburn fans will dig through gold just to find dirt... and we’re calling it out.

All that and more as fall camp heats up 🔥🐅

Auburn’s running back room might be the biggest surprise of fall camp so far. Once viewed as one of the team’s weaker position groups, two backs—once considered deep depth pieces—are turning heads and rising fast. If this group reaches elite status, there’s no ceiling for this Auburn offense. We also dive into several other major surprises from the first few days of fall camp that could shake up expectations for the 2025 season. Don’t miss this one.

In this episode of The Barn Hoops Podcast, we break down Joe Lunardi’s newest 2026 bracketology, with a spotlight on Auburn’s standing among SEC teams. Lunardi currently projects Auburn as a top 4 seed in the Midwest Region—one of 14 SEC schools slated to make the NCAA Tournament, tying last year’s record conference bids. We’ll analyze how Auburn stacks up with the top programs of the conference, and discuss the SEC bubble situation for programs like Georgia, Ole Miss and Texas A&M.

Plus, we discuss the announcement of Auburn’s exhibition game vs. Memphis: a rematch of their 90‑76 Maui Invitational final victory, scheduled for October 30 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta ⏰ 7:30 p.m. CT; part of a doubleheader that opens with a women's matchup between South Carolina and North Carolina. We explore what this marquee preseason matchup means for Auburn’s momentum and national profile as the 2025‑26 season tips off.

Malcolm Simmons is officially back at practice and was a full participant yesterday. We walk you through everything we know about the ongoing Title IX investigation related to the domestic violence allegation — and why August 8th could be the day we get final clarity.

Meanwhile, Hugh Freeze dropped an instant classic at the podium — “you need length and girth to compete in the SEC” — and this Auburn team definitely checks both boxes. The Tigers look long, big, and flat-out different across the board.

We also dive into a few key standouts from Auburn’s latest practice session as fall camp starts to heat up.
