Opportunities for Incoming Freshmen?

Erique Florence

Last year and the year before, the Auburn coaches recruited to fill immediate needs as well as building for the future.   This year they were able to focus more on the addition of future needs.  Very few of the Feburary signees were projected to see much playing time at least as a starting role.  With the recent events, that has changed.   The biggest immediate loss  is replacing a senior safety with 39 games experience.  Thorpe while being new to the position will be the more battle tested player and with experienced help also being needed at LB, I dont see Bates making the move back to safety. Look for Ryan Smith and incoming freshman Erique Florence to push for the other slot. 







CJ Uzomah

Shaun Kitchens could have been a possible replacement for Eric Smith.  His size and ability to catch the ball would have worked well as a pass protection/wheel route threat.  Could this be a chance for newcomer C.J. Uzomah?  At 6'5" and 230 lbs he has the size and also posseses the soft hands needed for playing in the flat.  

Brandon Fulse

The void created by redshirt freshman Dakota Mosley leaves the offense without a 2nd string TE.  Enter Brandon Fulse.   The true freshman will be backing up Lutzenkirchen.   While Mosley played the same role last year and was able to redshirt, I would look for Fulse to see some time on the playing field.
