Better days ahead for former No. 1 recruit Byron Cowart at Auburn

“The Tigers need pass-rushers and Byron Cowart was perhaps the most college-ready in the entire 2015 recruiting cycle.”

“Cowart's quickness and burst off the line is other-worldly. He overwhelms offensive tackles before they can get set or get their hands on him.”

“Defensively, he's game-changer. He goes about his business, he's a leader, he was team captain -- he plays when the moment is big and he gets it.”

This is just a sample of what was said about Cowart when the five-star defensive end signed with Auburn in February 2015.
