The full Auburn depth chart for Week 1
It’s college football week, and the Tigers are gearing up for their game this weekend.
Auburn was generous enough to provide a depth chart for Week 1, as reported by Justin Ferguson on Twitter. Unlike many depth charts, the Tigers have made up their mind on almost every position outside of special teams — save for one, which we’ll get to down the line. Quarterback T.J. Finley was confirmed to start earlier this week, but this depth chart gives Auburn fans the entire picture.
Without further ado, here is a complete list of the Tigers’ depth chart to kick off the 2022 season at home:
