Auburn's Defense Primed for Success

About this episode

Auburn's defense is set for a strong 2026 season with key players returning and new transfers joining the team.

Auburns defense, ranked 29th last year, is poised for a strong 2026 season under new head coach Alex Golesh and coordinator DJ Durkin. Key returnees like Xavier Atkins and a solid secondary, along with transfer additions like DaShawn Womack and Cody Sigler, bolster the front and linebacker corps. If healthy, the secondary could be dominant, with Kaleb Harris and Champ Anthony leading the way. Auburn fans have reasons to be excited heading into the Baylor matchup.
