A pair of first-time Auburn football starters, North Texas transfer Larry Nixon III and sophomore kicker Alex McPherson, are set to be the best at their respective positions predicts Saturday Down South’s Glenn Sattell.

Sattell predicted Nixon III will be the SEC’s best tackler in the heart of Auburn’s defense during the 2023 season.

“The senior transfer linebacker from North Texas isn’t getting much buzz, but this guy has proven he can play,” Sattell wrote.
