Since arriving on the Plains several years ago, head coach Hugh Freeze has been on a mission to improve Auburn football's offensive line. After a couple of years of recruiting struggles and then whatever happened under Bryan Harsin, the Tigers were nowhere near where they needed to be in terms of linemen.
While recruiting linemen from the high school ranks became a big priority, it was necessary for the Tigers to turn to the Transfer Portal to fill the gaps while those high school players developed and prepared. Now, heading into Freeze's third season on the Plains, Auburn football undoubtedly has the best offensive line it has had in years.
