Greg Robinson 2.0: Calvin Ashley could be Auburn’s next great offensive lineman
Gus Malzahn isn’t tempering expectations for the centerpiece of the team’s 2017 recruiting class Calvin Ashley.
During Malzahn national signing day press conference, the coach compared the incoming offensive lineman — a 5-star recruit out of St. John’s College in Washington D.C. — to a former Tigers’ standout.
“Calvin is a guy that we feel like can come in immediately and have a chance to compete,” Malzahn said. “Really reminds me a lot of Greg Robinson when Greg was this age.”
While Robinson redshirted as a freshman, he spent two years anchoring Auburn’s offensive line at left tackle and was a key ingredient to Auburn’s FBS-leading ground attack in 2013.
