AUBURN, Ala. - When Gus Malzahn looks at Auburn's trio of incoming linebackers, he sees their position coach, Travis Williams.

"Travis was a little bit undersized, could run, was tough, All-SEC," Malzahn said.

An All-SEC linebacker at Auburn in 2004-05, the 6-foot-1 Williams weighed 200 pounds when he signed out of high school 2001. Auburn's 2005 media guide listed Williams, then a senior, at 207 pounds.

Two of Auburn's new LBs are slightly larger, the other a tad smaller.

Michael Harris and Josh Marsh are both 6-2, 215.
