Auburn’s Duke Williams missed Friday’s practice for “personal reasons,” according to Auburn offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee. Rumors hit the internet earlier in the week about a possible altercation involving Williams and members of the Auburn basketball team––one name you’d know very well. Although this rumor hasn’t been confirmed (g), Duke’s history with off-the-field issues plus his unexplained, undefined absence from the team in the first week of fall camp equals trouble.
Williams sat out the Tigers’ bowl game last season for disciplinary reasons.
