Watched that spring practice footage from the dead period workouts and I keep coming back to one thing: the quietest. We have got something cooking in the secondary that is going to surprise people once the lights come on. The portal additions we brought in to compete with the returning guys are legit. I have seen enough offseasons to know when a unit is bought in and when they are just going through the mottions. This group is locked in. The narrative that we cannot develop defensive backs at Auburn has always been lazy. People forget the guys we have sent to the league from that position group over the years. But the 2026 class coming in alongside the transfers gives us something we have not had in a minute: real. Nobody is handed a starting job. The young guys from the 2025 year are getting pushed by the newcomers and the veterans who stayed. That is how you build a defense that travels. I keep seeing the ESPN 2027 class rankings and people panicking about where we sit. Fine, let them sleep on the program. But watch what happens when the guys we have in the building right now start making plays this fall. The depth in that secondary is going to force quarterbacks to hold the ball an extra tick. The whole thing connects. This is the kind of summer where the foundation gets laid. Jordan-Hare is going to be rocking when the season rolls around and people realize we have been quietly stacking talent.
