Auburn continues to stack talent in the trenches, bringing former Tiger Jay Hardy back to the Plains after a productive stint at Liberty. Originally signing with Auburn in 2020, Hardy adds veteran experience and much-needed size to a room that’s quietly become one of the deepest on the roster. But is Auburn truly set up to run the 3-4 effectively with enough true nose tackles, or could these additions hint at some 4-3 looks under DJ Durkin in 2025?

We also take a look at James Ash (FAMU), who could be the next DL target to bolster this unit even further. For the first time in years, Auburn isn’t scrambling to find starters in the spring portal — they’re simply adding quality depth and giving young talent time to develop. That’s a sign of a program trending in the right direction.
