Auburn offensive line ‘gelling’ ahead of season opener

Despite the losses of Avery Young and Shon Coleman to the NFL this offseason, Auburn’s offensive line is in a strong place to start off 2016.

Following Saturday’s practice, Tigers coach Gus Malzahn said the starting lineup will most likely stick throughout the upcoming season as long as everyone stays healthy. At the end of spring practice, the line was set with junior Austin Golson at left tackle, senior Alex Kozan at left guard, senior Xavier Dampeer at center, junior Braden Smith at right guard and senior Robert Leff at right tackle as the first unit.

“That’s a group that’s gelling,” Malzahn said.
