Auburn’s impending quarterback battle is an important one, but the team has other positions up for grabs when spring practice starts Feb. 28.
Here is a look at Auburn’s top position battles this spring…
Position: Offensive tackle
Contenders: Darius James, Austin Golson, Braden Smith, Prince Tega Wanogho, Prince Michael Sammons, Calvin Ashley, Tyler Carr, Bailey Sharp
Auburn has two holes on the offensive line to fill with tackle Robert Leff and guard Alex Kozan graduating. Leff was one of the team’s top run blockers last year at right tackle starting 15 games.
While Darius James anchored the left side for much of the year, Austin Golson started the first four games of the season at left tackle.
