There’s been a recent feeling of unease on The Plains about their recruitment of Lausanne Collegiate’s Brock Glenn. The four-star quarterback of the 2023 recruiting class has been courted by Auburn for some time. And until recently the Tigers were considered frontrunners for his commitment. But late plays by a handful of programs – most notably LSU – saw the young passer consider his options… Glenn planned to make his announcement ahead of the Elite 11 finals in June, but an unexpected offer from Brian Kelly forced the Memphis product to delay his commitment. Unable to take an official visit…

Travis Etienne has had to be patient when it comes to his professional career. Once considered ‘Plan B’, the former Clemson running back was only drafted by the Jaguars after their preferred choice – Kadarius Toney – was selected by The Giants five picks earlier. He was immediately christened a ‘3rd down back’ by Urban Meyer, despite his draft status and stellar collegiate career. And in training camp, he was used as a receiver, frequently lining up in the slot as Jacksonville looked determined to turn him into Toney Mk II. And then, disaster struck. In just the second preseason…

The Auburn Tigers underwent a significant rebuild this offseason. Bryan Harsin’s first year on The Plains ended with NINETEEN players entering the transfer portal. That talent has been to some extent replaced, with ten transfers heading to Jordan-Hare Stadium.

With nose tackle Tony Fair graduating, The Tigers got a welcome Christmas present…

The shadow of Urban Meyer continues to linger over The Jaguars. Yesterday, The Jaguars filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought against them by Josh Lambo. The former Duval kicker is seeking restitution for being allegedly kicked by his then head coach Meyer during practice. Lambo claims Meyer kicked him whilst he was stretching ahead of their final warmup contest against The Dallas Cowboys. In an interview with the Tampa Bay Times in December last year, Lambo described the incident: “I’m in a lunge position. Left leg forward, right leg back. Urban Meyer, while I’m in that stretch position,…

The recruiting class of 2023 has been slow-going for Bryan Harsin & Auburn. Before the turn of this month, The Tigers had just two commits to their name; four star safety Terrance Love from Georgia and local four star offensive lineman Bradyn Joiner. But July began with a much needed boost. First, Cadillac Williams fended off Clemson & Tennessee to reel in coveted running back Jeremiah Cobb. A day later, highly touted receiver Karmello English also opted to head to The Plains. That July momentum seems to have been brought to an abrupt halt. In the last 24 hours, Harsin…
