Observations from Auburn football’s first preseason camp practice in full pads
By Peter Rauterkus
al.com
Auburn was back on the practice field on Wednesday, this time for its first preseason camp practice in full pads.
Week 1 against Baylor is three weeks away, and Auburn is starting to ramp up its preparations. Wednesday’s practice was the Tigers’ seventh of preseason camp.
Media members were allowed to watch about 35 minutes of Wednesday’s practice, which included, stretching, drills and a brief 11-on-11 period.
Here’s what we saw:
Availability report
Jonathan Echols, Nykahi Davenport, Corey Wells, Ryan Ghea and Nate Johnson were all non-participants during the media viewing window and worked with the training staff individually. Ghea, Davenport, Echols and Johnson are new additions to that group.
Christian Neptune and Sylvester Smith practiced wearing orange non-contact jerseys.
Other observations
Crime Mob and Lil’ Scrappy’s “Knuck if you Buck” was the song of choice at the beginning of the media viewing window.
The order of running backs in drills was Jeremiah Cobb, Omar Mabson II, Bryson Washington, Tae Meadows
Brian Williams made an impressive one-handed catch during a drill period with the quarterbacks.
The first team offense during the 11-on-11 period was as follows:
Offensive line (left to right): Jo Simmons, Jacob Strand, Cole Best, Cole Skinner, Stanton Ramil
Tight end: Arlis Boardingham
Wide receiver: Keshaun Singleton, Chas Nimrod, Jeremiah Koger
Running back: Jeremiah Cobb
Quarterback: Byrum Brown
The first team defense during the 11-on-11 period was as follows:
Defensive line: Jared Smith, Dallas Walker IV, Walter Mathis Jr., Da’Shawn Womack
Linebacker: Xavier Atkins, Elijah Melendez (Demarcus Riddick and Bryce Deas rotated in)
Cornerback: Blake Woodby, Gavin Jenkins
Nickel: Sylvester Smith-Reed
Safety: Fred Gaskin III, Champ Anthony
It’s always worth noting that it’s still early in camp and plenty can still change before the season starts.
Strand stepping in at guard was the most interesting development on the offense. He was limited during spring practice, but has plenty of experience from his time at Oregon State.
Koger had the play of the period on offense, scoring from close to 70 yards out after catching a pass from Brown and getting past Woodby, who slipped on the play.
His name hasn’t been said as much as other receivers during the offseason, but Koger is still an impressive athlete who can make plays down the field.
The best play on defense was a tackle for loss by Atkins and who shot through the line of scrimmage to take down Cobb in the backfield.
Singleton had a drop on a slant route early in the 11-on-11 period.
The first team offense looked fluid and functional during the 11-on-11 period. The group looked much further ahead compared to where it was during spring practice.
Washington ran hard when taking reps with the second team offense.
The second team offensive line was (left to right): Parker Pritchett, Deryc Plazz, Kail Ellis, Jacobe’ Ward and Wilson Zierer.

Former Tennessee commit Sylvester Smith-Reed reunited with Tim Banks at Auburn
By Nathan King
Auburn 247
Entering his fourth college season, Sylvester Smith-Reed has been given an opportunity few players ever get: playing under both his current defensive coordinator, and the one he once thought he was going to play for.
Smith-Reed was committed to Tennessee as a 4-star recruit from Munford, Alabama, while Tim Banks was the Volunteers' defensive coordinator, before flipping to the Tigers before signing day.
So when Smith-Reed caught wind of Alex Golesh's new defensive hire in December, after Banks was fired at Tennessee, no one on this roster was more excited.
Banks quickly got on a Zoom call with his personnel while the players were out on Christmas break. Smith-Reed could see Banks smirking at him in the corner of the screen.
"Long time no see," Banks said with a smile.
"I was just very excited," Smith-Reed said. "Excited, thankful."
Heading into his biggest role yet on Auburn's defense this fall, there's no coach Smith-Reed trusts more than Banks, who's back as a position coach for the first time since holding the same role at Penn State. Smith-Reed had been Tennessee's defensive coordinator the past five seasons before Josh Heupel parted ways with him in December.
"I have a long, long, lasting relationship with Coach Banks," Smith-Reed said. "I appreciate him a lot. Very, very knowledgeable. Means what he says. He does what he says. He takes pride in having us ready, and getting the best out of us each and every day."
Smith-Reed is part of a core of experienced pieces in Auburn's safety and nickel room, along with Kaleb Harris and Champ Anthony. Smith-Reed has contributed at both safety and nickel for the Tigers, but has not yet had a full-time starting job in the secondary.
Entering his third season under DJ Durkin's direction — and now with Banks, too — Smith-Reed has never felt more confident.
"It's a full circle moment," Smith-Reed said. "Really didn't have the year that I personally wanted to have last year. So just having the coaches that I have complete, 1,000% trust in both be here — the DC I was committed to for so long, now my position coach, and a great DC like Coach Durkin — it's a blessing. I can't wait to go play."
The redshirt junior has been limited in fall camp so far with an orange non-contact jersey, which is mostly out of precaution, he said. While sitting out some drills, Smith-Reed has been able to focus on some of his off-the-field qualities.
"Just being a better football player, being a better leader — being somebody the young guys can look up to," Smith-Reed said. "Look at my process and perfect their process. Really, just working on my day to day process and being the best Sylvester Smith-Reed I can be."
Auburn practiced in full pads for the first time Wednesday morning. Friday will be the team's first scrimmage in Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Why Champ Anthony is Raving About New Safeties Coach Tim Banks
By Griffin Barfield
Auburn Tigers on SI
Auburn’s defense last season was enough to keep the Tigers in games. In 2026, with a new coaching staff led by Alex Golesh, added more experience with a former defensive coordinator in Tim Banks.
The defensive coordinator at Tennessee for five seasons, Banks comes to the Plains as a co-defensive coordinator to D.J. Durkin, as well as being the primary safeties coach entering 2026. The program moved on from former specialist T.J. Rushing this offseason.
Due to the plethora of experience that Banks brings, the safety room is seeing benefits from it. Senior Champ Anthony is one of those players.
“I mean, when you get a DC, when you get a guy who was a DC, and then he has lots of safeties in the league,” he said on Tuesday. “So, he understands how to view the game from a different standpoint, just like a regular safeties coach.”
Banks has already spoken about the depth of his room entering the season, being able to play between four to six safeties regularly to enter the season. Anthony will headline that group, being one of three players to join Golesh in Tampa, Fla., during SEC Media Days.
Already being called “a true leader” going into his senior season, Anthony is also becoming an on-field coach from how his new position coach is helping him and the safeties understand the game better from Durkin’s standpoint.
“We talk about what Coach Durk, what do you think Coach Durk is going to call, when he’s going to call it,” he said. “So, he’s kind of turning us into coaches on the field, so we understand.”
Instead of reacting when the play is being revealed, Banks is helping the group be reactionary before the play even begins.
“We have a feel,” Anthony said. “We have a feel for what he’s going to call, and just his understanding of offense is phenomenal. Just understanding what they can get out of formation and stuff like that, so we’re hearing him talk every day, and I’m feeling good.”
Auburn’s pass defense allowed 229 passing yards per game last season, which was good enough for the 11th-fewest in the SEC last season. That will look to change with Durkin back in his signature role next season, and he brings another SEC mind in Banks, who has gotten the Volunteers as high as fifth in the competitive conference.
However, he’s already molded a group that is expected to play with more knowledge about the opposing offenses.
“You can anticipate. If you anticipate the call, then you don’t even have to worry about your job,” Anthony said. You can get everybody lined up and, honestly, you can worry about what the offense is trying to do to you instead of just worrying about what you’re going to do or trying to figure out what he’s going to call.”

Auburn's Tim Banks will be put to the test in a big way this season
By Andrew Hughes
Fly War Eagle
Tim Banks will have the fortune of a healthy Auburn safety room heading into his first year on the Plains. In reuniting with former Tennessee colleague Alex Golesh in the first year of the Tigers' new era, Banks is stepping into a bit of a pressure cooker situation.
On one hand, there aren't CFP expectations for year one. Golesh may have brought in a whole new offense that worked during his time at USF, including play-caller Joel Gordon and quarterback Byrum Brown, but turning around an entire culture into a CFP one is a tough ask in year one in the SEC.
On the other hand, though, there are expectations to be at least bowl-game-eligible this December.
The defense is expected to continue being the backbone of the entire locker room. And Banks has no excuses for not overseeing one of the unit's strengths.
Auburn's safety room clear of significant injuries
In a much different scenario than last season, Auburn's safeties are, for the most part, healthy.
AnQuon Fegans suffered an undisclosed minor injury at the beginning of fall camp but has largely not been held back. Kaleb Harris has been slowed down by minor injuries each of the last two years, but he is also expected to ramp up his reps and weight room work ASAP. Champ Anthony, who appears to be switching to the nickel spot on a consistent basis but is a free safety by trade, is finally healthy after several serious injuries in 2024 and 2025.
Then there's Sylvester Smith-Reed, who appears to finally be healthy overall but is still not fully participating in contact drills. Luckily, Eric Winters has no health concerns and is fully embracing being a leader during fall camp. Winters is using his strong linebacker-like frame to set a violent tone.
Banks' main players are ready. Is he?
Tim Banks has to answer for struggles at Tennessee last year
2025 was a complete turnaround year for Banks on Rocky Top. And not in a good way. The Vols' defense cratered to No. 92 in scoring defense, ceding just under 29 points per game. Tennessee was the nation's No. 7 scoring defense during their CFP season in 2024. The Vols gave up just 16.1 points per game that year. That defense arguably carried quarterback Nico Iamaleava to the CFP.
Maybe 2025 was an anomaly. Banks' early seasons working with Josh Heupel were affected by the pace at which Tennessee's offense played. There also wasn't as much talent in Knoxville during the early 2020s as there is now at Auburn.
If Banks's group struggles, the finger will naturally point at him. T. J. Rushing, now at Arkansas, did a great job with the Tigers' group last year. If Banks doesn't work well with defensive coordinator DJ Durkin, that's on the former.
Let's hope Banks makes Golesh look smart for hiring him after Banks was dismissed from Heupel's UT coaching staff. With fewer responsibilities now as a position coach, maybe Banks can focus on doing what he does best, and the results will follow with the players he's working with.

Who’s going to do punt and kick returns for Auburn this fall?
By Jerry Humphrey III
al.com
With all the position battles that goes on in fall camp, special teams is still a relevant competition when figuring out kick and punt returners for Auburn.
Special teams coordinator Jacob Brownoski provided updates on the Tigers’ returners in camp and who fans can expect in that role this fall.
“Yeah, absolutely Rayshawn Pleasant. I mean, he’s a stud back there, and you know the guys know that which is always huge,” Brownoski said Wednesday. “When they know how much of a dude’s back there, they strain just a little bit longer, hold their blocks a little bit longer, do their jobs. Kind of creates that buy-in, so that unit can go out there and be explosive, and it all starts with him, obviously.”
Pleasant returned a kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown during Auburn’s season-opening win over Baylor last season. He ranked second in the SEC with 412 total return yards in 2025 while averaging 24.2 yards per return.
On the punting side, returning wide receiver Bryce Cain split some of those reps with former wideout Malcom Simmons last season. However, this year in preseason camp it’s become a three-man race between Cain, a newcomer from South Florida and a freshman phenom.
“So Christian Neptune’s done a really nice job,” Brownoski said. “He’s developed a lot of consistency, and again, he’s earned that because the way that he’s worked all really through his injury and every other day this summer. He’s doing a really nice job communicating.
“Bryce Cain’s also been doing a good job. And then (Dashawn Spencer), freshman. I know he’s been kind of brought up a bunch. He continues to just grow every single day. So, we got a good competition back there between those guys.”
Auburn returns to practice on Thursday and will wrap up its second week of preseason camp on Friday with a scrimmage inside Jordan-Hare Stadium.

McPherson kicking well as Tigers ramp up preseason camp
By Jason Caldwell
Auburn 247
While he wasn't back to full strength a season ago, Auburn kicker Alex McPherson connected on 20-23 field goals and showed that he was still among the best in the country. Now he's ready to finish with a bang in 2026 with his range returning and his strength back after getting back to 165 pounds. That's a long way back from weighing just over 100 pounds during the 2024 season while dealing with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
Gradually improving throughout the spring and summer, McPherson was making field goals from nearly 60 yards on Wednesday morning and doing it with ease. That's a huge step for the Auburn kicker and has him ready to see what this season has in store for him and the Tigers.
"It's exciting," McPherson said. "I don't think I was kicking as well in the spring as I am now, which is exciting. I have gotten a little bit better and us as a unit has gotten better. We've been working pretty hard all summer. Getting to see that work we put in during the summer in fall camp has been awesome."
Despite all of his medical issues, McPherson enters the season a ridiculous 40-45 on field goal attempts during his career at Auburn. That's 88.9 percent and well above Daniel Carlson's 80.7 percent for the best in school history.
Getting his first opportunity to work with McPherson this season after coaching a Lou Groza Award winner and another finalist in the last three seasons, Jacob Bronowski said McPherson has the makeup of a great one because of how he approaches everything he does, starting with his mindset.
"That mental edge," he said. "I think every single good one I've been around has always has one thing in common. That's a mental edge. They're competitive. I think kickers sometimes get labeled as they're not football players, whatever it is. The best ones I've been around have that same edge, no different than a starting safety has.
"They want to go out there and they want to rip somebody's throat out. It just looks a little bit different in their craft. But Alex has that, make no mistake about it. I know he's got a good smile at SEC Media Day, but he wants to go out there and be the best in the world, and that's what makes him really special."
One of the best golfers on the Auburn football team, McPherson said that mindset is something he believes helps him as a kicker. While you're playing a team sport, there's no more lonely feeling on the field that being the guy that has to decide a game with a kick. Just like a golfer who has to deal with that internal struggle that comes with human nature, McPherson said he has the ability to just block things out. After what he's been through, there's no doubt about that.
"I have a snapper and holder that have a really important job that helps me out," he said. "They're going to do their job and it's really on me to do my job. You're kind of out there by yourself just going through your own thoughts. I think I'm pretty good at blocking out my own thoughts and keeping it simple and executing whenever I can."

Auburn Running Backs Coach Plans on Using 'The Whole Room' in 2026
By Griffin Barfield
Auburn Tigers on SI
New Auburn Tigers head coach Alex Golesh will look to re-establish the run game during his time on the Plains. Running backs coach Larry Porter will set that plan in motion.
Auburn returns its top rusher from last season, Jeremiah Cobb, for his senior season, looking to build on what he was able to do in 2025 with 969 yards and five touchdowns. However, Porter plans on giving him plenty of help within the backfield for next season.
In fact, he wants to use the entire room.
“I want the whole room. That’s what I work for every single day,” Porter said on Thursday. ‘You got to coach the guys at the bottom of the roster just as hard as you coach the guy at the top of your roster.”
Fortunately, the Tigers made some moves during the offseason to give Porter plenty of help in making that process possible. Auburn got USF running back Nykahi Davenport and Baylor transfer Bryson Washington to help aid that effort, coming to the Plains with over a combined 1,300 yards on the ground last season at their respective schools. Other names, like sophomore Omar Mabson II, have had strong starts to their respective fall camp to help push for a spot as well.
But, when it comes to coaching, a player like Cobb is getting the same type of treatment as a true freshman to get this plan underway.
“I understand, and I tell them all the time, like it’s tough to get four, five, three guys ready to play each week,” Porter said. “So, we have to operate in a way as well as in a space to where you have to assume that you’re next.”
The amount of depth comes to have fresh legs throughout the season. While Cobb is expected to take the majority of the touches, others like Davenport and Washington bring their own expertise into the fray to have a blend of different types of tailbacks on Auburn’s offense. Of course, quarterback Byrum Brown is known to use his legs and will have designed runs for him as well.
It has Porter controlling the uncontrollables, which in this case, would be when players get sidelined throughout the season, if it happens.
“Obviously, injuries happen, and you can’t control that,” he said. “So, again, the expectation is, and this is a place in which. . .we grade guys at the bottom of the roster no differently than we grade the guys at the top of the roster. So, the expectations are the same.”
However, the running back room is responding, and it’s in a way that’s happening off the field.
Porter described how the backs are helping each other when it comes to growth. While off the field, Auburn’s skill position players are doing things together, like cooking fish and taking lessons together to benefit as people. Through this, Porter said that “they can be completely transparent with each other,” which can roll onto the football field.
It makes the process throughout fall camp a lot smoother, especially with a lot of new faces in next season’s room.
“The thing that I will say about this room is I love the chemistry and continuity,” he said. “These guys are not only just trying to understand what becoming an Auburn man is all about, but they’re also building a brotherhood. I’m talking about life lessons.”

Auburn's OL coming into focus: Oregon State transfer emerging at LG, Jo Simmons solidifying LT job
By Andrew Hughes
Fly War Eagle
An unexpected group took the field at Auburn's fall camp on Wednesday along the first-team offensive line. According to Auburn Tigers On SI's Gunner Norene, these players lined up from left to right with the first team: Jo Simmons, Jacob Strand, Cole Best, Cole Skinner, and Stanton Ramil.
From left to right, Parker Pritchett, Deryc Plazz, Kail Ellis, Jacobe’ Ward and Wilson Zierer lined up for the second team, per Norene. The competition is far from over as Week 1 approaches on September 5.
Still, there are early shockers from the second week of fall camp.
Jacob Strand ahead of Deryc Plazz at left guard
The Oregon State transfer Strand was not expected to land ahead of the Miami transfer Plazz. Technically, he hasn't officially usurped him yet, since it's clear the battle is still fluid. Stanford transfer Jack Leyrer is also in the mix. Evidently, Leyrer has fallen behind the other two, but he shouldn't be counted out.
No one should. Part of having worries about the offensive line is being far from knowing who could be relied on. With three transfers at one position, it's truly hard to know who's the guy until the entire OL is being tested against live competition. Guard is an important position to see mesh with the rest of the interior linemen.
If Strand is healthy, he may be the guy who gets the nod right away. Strand missed the spring, but clearly he's made up ground quickly. Meanwhile, Leyrer could steal backup snaps at right guard, a position he hasn't played yet, but the only OL position besides center he's never taken a rep at, behind Cole Skinner after Tai Buster's injury last week. Leyrer started eight games at left guard, six at left tackle, and two at right tackle on the Cardinal.
Jo Simmons and Stanton Ramil settling into tackle roles
Ramil started 13 games in the past two years at the left tackle spot for Michigan State. An injury cost Ramil more than half of the 2025 season with the Spartans. Ramil wasn't fully healthy during the spring, and in his absence, the James Madison transfer Simmons has made a convincing case on the blindside.
That's a bit of a surprise. Ramil was a Thompson great in AHSAA 7A football during his high school days. One figures he'd fulfill his potential at the left tackle spot for the home-state team. Perhaps he'll get his chance, and he and Simmons will switch at some point. Perhaps injuries will necessitate a move.
It's a fluid situation everywhere besides the center position, where Best has no chance of losing the job to Ellis. Tyler Hudanick has a very tough job getting this group together, but there's at least continuity with Joel Gordon. There's at least continuity with his boss, Alex Golesh.
It may take a bit for the OL to get going during the 2026 season. Once this group learns to play fast, though, Byrum Brown's dual-threat abilities could make up for the uncertain protection to give the defense more to work with than it had last year.
Let's hope that's enough for progress in Golesh's first year at the helm.

Auburn Offense Explodes For Long Score & More on Day 7 of Fall Camp
By Gunner Norene
Auburn Tigers on SI
The Auburn Tigers are well into the second week of fall preseason camp, as they are just over three weeks out from their season opener against Baylor in Atlanta.
Wednesday morning’s practice saw Alex Golesh’s squad wear full pads for the first time of camp, and the media was granted a near 40-minute viewing window to watch the first few periods.
We got to see warmups, position drills, and a surprise 11-on-11 period, so let’s dive into some of my biggest observations and notes from Wednesday at the Woltosz Family Performance Center.
Brown Bomb to Koger in 11-on-11
Following the first period of warmups and drills, the team unexpectedly went into a brief 11-on-11 competition, when quarterback Byrum Brown found wide receiver Jeremiah Koger downfield for a long touchdown reception just a few plays into the first drive.
I couldn’t see exactly how long the play was from my vantage point, but it had to have been above 50 or 60 yards, and it caused the offensive sideline to absolutely erupt. On the other side, though, defensive DJ Durkin was heated after his unit surrendered a relatively easy deep ball, and understandably so.
Music Difference is Extremely Noticeable
This was the first fall camp practice I’ve attended this year, and the music when the media initially walked into the facility was extremely different from last year’s under former head coach Hugh Freeze.
There was lots of rap music, a refreshing thing to hear for many Auburn fans who disliked Freeze’s worship music in the middle of a football practice — and it was blasting. I could barely talk to the person next to me.
They also blared “Enter Sandman” on the outdoor speakers as the team was preparing for the 11-on-11 period, which visibly got the juices flowing.
Offensive Line Still Far From Set
Maybe one of the biggest concerns for this team is the brand new offensive line that will likely consist of five transfers, and that competition certainly seems far from over.
The first group of offensive linemen that lined up in the opening series of the 11-on-11 period was, from left to right, as follows: Jo Simmons, Jacob Strans, Cole Best, Cole Skinner, Stanton Ramil.
The second-team offensive line, from left to right, featured Parker Pritchett, Deryc Plazz, Kail Ellis, Jacobe’ Ward and Wilson Zierer.
Starting WR Rotation
The first trio of wide receivers to trot out alongside Brown on the opening drive included Keshaun Singleton, Jeremiah Koger and Chas Nimrod. True freshman De’Shawn Spencer, a young talent who’s certainly stood out thus far in fall camp, played with the second-team.
Punt Returner Competition
Special teams coordinator Jacob Bronowski was made available to the media following Wednesday’s practice, and he revealed that there are three candidates still battling to take the starting punt returner spot.
Bronowski was quick to name USF transfer Christian Neptune, Bryce Cain and De’Shawn Spencer as the main guys to watch for that role.
He was also asked about a kickoff returner, and he didn’t hesitate a second before saying Rayshawn Pleasant’s name and raving about his production as kick returner in 2025.

Christian Neptune and Sylvester Smith practiced wearing orange non-contact jerseys.
Other observations
Crime Mob and Lil’ Scrappy’s “Knuck if you Buck” was the song of choice at the beginning of the media viewing window.
The order of running backs in drills was Jeremiah Cobb, Omar Mabson II, Bryson Washington, Tae Meadows
Brian Williams made an impressive one-handed catch during a drill period with the quarterbacks.
The first team offense during the 11-on-11 period was as follows:
Offensive line (left to right): Jo Simmons, Jacob Strand, Cole Best, Cole Skinner, Stanton Ramil
Tight end: Arlis Boardingham
Wide receiver: Keshaun Singleton, Chas Nimrod, Jeremiah Koger
Running back: Jeremiah Cobb
Quarterback: Byrum Brown
The first team defense during the 11-on-11 period was as follows:
Defensive line: Jared Smith, Dallas Walker IV, Walter Mathis Jr., Da’Shawn Womack
Linebacker: Xavier Atkins, Elijah Melendez (Demarcus Riddick and Bryce Deas rotated in)
Cornerback: Blake Woodby, Gavin Jenkins
Nickel: Sylvester Smith-Reed
Safety: Fred Gaskin III, Champ Anthony
It’s always worth noting that it’s still early in camp and plenty can still change before the season starts.
Strand stepping in at guard was the most interesting development on the offense. He was limited during spring practice, but has plenty of experience from his time at Oregon State.
Koger had the play of the period on offense, scoring from close to 70 yards out after catching a pass from Brown and getting past Woodby, who slipped on the play.
His name hasn’t been said as much as other receivers during the offseason, but Koger is still an impressive athlete who can make plays down the field.
The best play on defense was a tackle for loss by Atkins and who shot through the line of scrimmage to take down Cobb in the backfield.
Singleton had a drop on a slant route early in the 11-on-11 period.
The first team offense looked fluid and functional during the 11-on-11 period. The group looked much further ahead compared to where it was during spring practice.
Washington ran hard when taking reps with the second team offense.
The second team offensive line was (left to right): Parker Pritchett, Deryc Plazz, Kail Ellis, Jacobe’ Ward and Wilson Zierer.

Former Tennessee commit Sylvester Smith-Reed reunited with Tim Banks at Auburn
By Nathan King
Auburn 247
Entering his fourth college season, Sylvester Smith-Reed has been given an opportunity few players ever get: playing under both his current defensive coordinator, and the one he once thought he was going to play for.
Smith-Reed was committed to Tennessee as a 4-star recruit from Munford, Alabama, while Tim Banks was the Volunteers' defensive coordinator, before flipping to the Tigers before signing day.
So when Smith-Reed caught wind of Alex Golesh's new defensive hire in December, after Banks was fired at Tennessee, no one on this roster was more excited.
Banks quickly got on a Zoom call with his personnel while the players were out on Christmas break. Smith-Reed could see Banks smirking at him in the corner of the screen.
"Long time no see," Banks said with a smile.
"I was just very excited," Smith-Reed said. "Excited, thankful."
Heading into his biggest role yet on Auburn's defense this fall, there's no coach Smith-Reed trusts more than Banks, who's back as a position coach for the first time since holding the same role at Penn State. Smith-Reed had been Tennessee's defensive coordinator the past five seasons before Josh Heupel parted ways with him in December.
"I have a long, long, lasting relationship with Coach Banks," Smith-Reed said. "I appreciate him a lot. Very, very knowledgeable. Means what he says. He does what he says. He takes pride in having us ready, and getting the best out of us each and every day."
Smith-Reed is part of a core of experienced pieces in Auburn's safety and nickel room, along with Kaleb Harris and Champ Anthony. Smith-Reed has contributed at both safety and nickel for the Tigers, but has not yet had a full-time starting job in the secondary.
Entering his third season under DJ Durkin's direction — and now with Banks, too — Smith-Reed has never felt more confident.
"It's a full circle moment," Smith-Reed said. "Really didn't have the year that I personally wanted to have last year. So just having the coaches that I have complete, 1,000% trust in both be here — the DC I was committed to for so long, now my position coach, and a great DC like Coach Durkin — it's a blessing. I can't wait to go play."
The redshirt junior has been limited in fall camp so far with an orange non-contact jersey, which is mostly out of precaution, he said. While sitting out some drills, Smith-Reed has been able to focus on some of his off-the-field qualities.
"Just being a better football player, being a better leader — being somebody the young guys can look up to," Smith-Reed said. "Look at my process and perfect their process. Really, just working on my day to day process and being the best Sylvester Smith-Reed I can be."
Auburn practiced in full pads for the first time Wednesday morning. Friday will be the team's first scrimmage in Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Why Champ Anthony is Raving About New Safeties Coach Tim Banks
By Griffin Barfield
Auburn Tigers on SI
Auburn’s defense last season was enough to keep the Tigers in games. In 2026, with a new coaching staff led by Alex Golesh, added more experience with a former defensive coordinator in Tim Banks.
The defensive coordinator at Tennessee for five seasons, Banks comes to the Plains as a co-defensive coordinator to D.J. Durkin, as well as being the primary safeties coach entering 2026. The program moved on from former specialist T.J. Rushing this offseason.
Due to the plethora of experience that Banks brings, the safety room is seeing benefits from it. Senior Champ Anthony is one of those players.
“I mean, when you get a DC, when you get a guy who was a DC, and then he has lots of safeties in the league,” he said on Tuesday. “So, he understands how to view the game from a different standpoint, just like a regular safeties coach.”
Banks has already spoken about the depth of his room entering the season, being able to play between four to six safeties regularly to enter the season. Anthony will headline that group, being one of three players to join Golesh in Tampa, Fla., during SEC Media Days.
Already being called “a true leader” going into his senior season, Anthony is also becoming an on-field coach from how his new position coach is helping him and the safeties understand the game better from Durkin’s standpoint.
“We talk about what Coach Durk, what do you think Coach Durk is going to call, when he’s going to call it,” he said. “So, he’s kind of turning us into coaches on the field, so we understand.”
Instead of reacting when the play is being revealed, Banks is helping the group be reactionary before the play even begins.
“We have a feel,” Anthony said. “We have a feel for what he’s going to call, and just his understanding of offense is phenomenal. Just understanding what they can get out of formation and stuff like that, so we’re hearing him talk every day, and I’m feeling good.”
Auburn’s pass defense allowed 229 passing yards per game last season, which was good enough for the 11th-fewest in the SEC last season. That will look to change with Durkin back in his signature role next season, and he brings another SEC mind in Banks, who has gotten the Volunteers as high as fifth in the competitive conference.
However, he’s already molded a group that is expected to play with more knowledge about the opposing offenses.
“You can anticipate. If you anticipate the call, then you don’t even have to worry about your job,” Anthony said. You can get everybody lined up and, honestly, you can worry about what the offense is trying to do to you instead of just worrying about what you’re going to do or trying to figure out what he’s going to call.”

Auburn's Tim Banks will be put to the test in a big way this season
By Andrew Hughes
Fly War Eagle
Tim Banks will have the fortune of a healthy Auburn safety room heading into his first year on the Plains. In reuniting with former Tennessee colleague Alex Golesh in the first year of the Tigers' new era, Banks is stepping into a bit of a pressure cooker situation.
On one hand, there aren't CFP expectations for year one. Golesh may have brought in a whole new offense that worked during his time at USF, including play-caller Joel Gordon and quarterback Byrum Brown, but turning around an entire culture into a CFP one is a tough ask in year one in the SEC.
On the other hand, though, there are expectations to be at least bowl-game-eligible this December.
The defense is expected to continue being the backbone of the entire locker room. And Banks has no excuses for not overseeing one of the unit's strengths.
Auburn's safety room clear of significant injuries
In a much different scenario than last season, Auburn's safeties are, for the most part, healthy.
AnQuon Fegans suffered an undisclosed minor injury at the beginning of fall camp but has largely not been held back. Kaleb Harris has been slowed down by minor injuries each of the last two years, but he is also expected to ramp up his reps and weight room work ASAP. Champ Anthony, who appears to be switching to the nickel spot on a consistent basis but is a free safety by trade, is finally healthy after several serious injuries in 2024 and 2025.
Then there's Sylvester Smith-Reed, who appears to finally be healthy overall but is still not fully participating in contact drills. Luckily, Eric Winters has no health concerns and is fully embracing being a leader during fall camp. Winters is using his strong linebacker-like frame to set a violent tone.
Banks' main players are ready. Is he?
Tim Banks has to answer for struggles at Tennessee last year
2025 was a complete turnaround year for Banks on Rocky Top. And not in a good way. The Vols' defense cratered to No. 92 in scoring defense, ceding just under 29 points per game. Tennessee was the nation's No. 7 scoring defense during their CFP season in 2024. The Vols gave up just 16.1 points per game that year. That defense arguably carried quarterback Nico Iamaleava to the CFP.
Maybe 2025 was an anomaly. Banks' early seasons working with Josh Heupel were affected by the pace at which Tennessee's offense played. There also wasn't as much talent in Knoxville during the early 2020s as there is now at Auburn.
If Banks's group struggles, the finger will naturally point at him. T. J. Rushing, now at Arkansas, did a great job with the Tigers' group last year. If Banks doesn't work well with defensive coordinator DJ Durkin, that's on the former.
Let's hope Banks makes Golesh look smart for hiring him after Banks was dismissed from Heupel's UT coaching staff. With fewer responsibilities now as a position coach, maybe Banks can focus on doing what he does best, and the results will follow with the players he's working with.

Who’s going to do punt and kick returns for Auburn this fall?
By Jerry Humphrey III
al.com
With all the position battles that goes on in fall camp, special teams is still a relevant competition when figuring out kick and punt returners for Auburn.
Special teams coordinator Jacob Brownoski provided updates on the Tigers’ returners in camp and who fans can expect in that role this fall.
“Yeah, absolutely Rayshawn Pleasant. I mean, he’s a stud back there, and you know the guys know that which is always huge,” Brownoski said Wednesday. “When they know how much of a dude’s back there, they strain just a little bit longer, hold their blocks a little bit longer, do their jobs. Kind of creates that buy-in, so that unit can go out there and be explosive, and it all starts with him, obviously.”
Pleasant returned a kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown during Auburn’s season-opening win over Baylor last season. He ranked second in the SEC with 412 total return yards in 2025 while averaging 24.2 yards per return.
On the punting side, returning wide receiver Bryce Cain split some of those reps with former wideout Malcom Simmons last season. However, this year in preseason camp it’s become a three-man race between Cain, a newcomer from South Florida and a freshman phenom.
“So Christian Neptune’s done a really nice job,” Brownoski said. “He’s developed a lot of consistency, and again, he’s earned that because the way that he’s worked all really through his injury and every other day this summer. He’s doing a really nice job communicating.
“Bryce Cain’s also been doing a good job. And then (Dashawn Spencer), freshman. I know he’s been kind of brought up a bunch. He continues to just grow every single day. So, we got a good competition back there between those guys.”
Auburn returns to practice on Thursday and will wrap up its second week of preseason camp on Friday with a scrimmage inside Jordan-Hare Stadium.

McPherson kicking well as Tigers ramp up preseason camp
By Jason Caldwell
Auburn 247
While he wasn't back to full strength a season ago, Auburn kicker Alex McPherson connected on 20-23 field goals and showed that he was still among the best in the country. Now he's ready to finish with a bang in 2026 with his range returning and his strength back after getting back to 165 pounds. That's a long way back from weighing just over 100 pounds during the 2024 season while dealing with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
Gradually improving throughout the spring and summer, McPherson was making field goals from nearly 60 yards on Wednesday morning and doing it with ease. That's a huge step for the Auburn kicker and has him ready to see what this season has in store for him and the Tigers.
"It's exciting," McPherson said. "I don't think I was kicking as well in the spring as I am now, which is exciting. I have gotten a little bit better and us as a unit has gotten better. We've been working pretty hard all summer. Getting to see that work we put in during the summer in fall camp has been awesome."
Despite all of his medical issues, McPherson enters the season a ridiculous 40-45 on field goal attempts during his career at Auburn. That's 88.9 percent and well above Daniel Carlson's 80.7 percent for the best in school history.
Getting his first opportunity to work with McPherson this season after coaching a Lou Groza Award winner and another finalist in the last three seasons, Jacob Bronowski said McPherson has the makeup of a great one because of how he approaches everything he does, starting with his mindset.
"That mental edge," he said. "I think every single good one I've been around has always has one thing in common. That's a mental edge. They're competitive. I think kickers sometimes get labeled as they're not football players, whatever it is. The best ones I've been around have that same edge, no different than a starting safety has.
"They want to go out there and they want to rip somebody's throat out. It just looks a little bit different in their craft. But Alex has that, make no mistake about it. I know he's got a good smile at SEC Media Day, but he wants to go out there and be the best in the world, and that's what makes him really special."
One of the best golfers on the Auburn football team, McPherson said that mindset is something he believes helps him as a kicker. While you're playing a team sport, there's no more lonely feeling on the field that being the guy that has to decide a game with a kick. Just like a golfer who has to deal with that internal struggle that comes with human nature, McPherson said he has the ability to just block things out. After what he's been through, there's no doubt about that.
"I have a snapper and holder that have a really important job that helps me out," he said. "They're going to do their job and it's really on me to do my job. You're kind of out there by yourself just going through your own thoughts. I think I'm pretty good at blocking out my own thoughts and keeping it simple and executing whenever I can."

Auburn Running Backs Coach Plans on Using 'The Whole Room' in 2026
By Griffin Barfield
Auburn Tigers on SI
New Auburn Tigers head coach Alex Golesh will look to re-establish the run game during his time on the Plains. Running backs coach Larry Porter will set that plan in motion.
Auburn returns its top rusher from last season, Jeremiah Cobb, for his senior season, looking to build on what he was able to do in 2025 with 969 yards and five touchdowns. However, Porter plans on giving him plenty of help within the backfield for next season.
In fact, he wants to use the entire room.
“I want the whole room. That’s what I work for every single day,” Porter said on Thursday. ‘You got to coach the guys at the bottom of the roster just as hard as you coach the guy at the top of your roster.”
Fortunately, the Tigers made some moves during the offseason to give Porter plenty of help in making that process possible. Auburn got USF running back Nykahi Davenport and Baylor transfer Bryson Washington to help aid that effort, coming to the Plains with over a combined 1,300 yards on the ground last season at their respective schools. Other names, like sophomore Omar Mabson II, have had strong starts to their respective fall camp to help push for a spot as well.
But, when it comes to coaching, a player like Cobb is getting the same type of treatment as a true freshman to get this plan underway.
“I understand, and I tell them all the time, like it’s tough to get four, five, three guys ready to play each week,” Porter said. “So, we have to operate in a way as well as in a space to where you have to assume that you’re next.”
The amount of depth comes to have fresh legs throughout the season. While Cobb is expected to take the majority of the touches, others like Davenport and Washington bring their own expertise into the fray to have a blend of different types of tailbacks on Auburn’s offense. Of course, quarterback Byrum Brown is known to use his legs and will have designed runs for him as well.
It has Porter controlling the uncontrollables, which in this case, would be when players get sidelined throughout the season, if it happens.
“Obviously, injuries happen, and you can’t control that,” he said. “So, again, the expectation is, and this is a place in which. . .we grade guys at the bottom of the roster no differently than we grade the guys at the top of the roster. So, the expectations are the same.”
However, the running back room is responding, and it’s in a way that’s happening off the field.
Porter described how the backs are helping each other when it comes to growth. While off the field, Auburn’s skill position players are doing things together, like cooking fish and taking lessons together to benefit as people. Through this, Porter said that “they can be completely transparent with each other,” which can roll onto the football field.
It makes the process throughout fall camp a lot smoother, especially with a lot of new faces in next season’s room.
“The thing that I will say about this room is I love the chemistry and continuity,” he said. “These guys are not only just trying to understand what becoming an Auburn man is all about, but they’re also building a brotherhood. I’m talking about life lessons.”

Auburn's OL coming into focus: Oregon State transfer emerging at LG, Jo Simmons solidifying LT job
By Andrew Hughes
Fly War Eagle
An unexpected group took the field at Auburn's fall camp on Wednesday along the first-team offensive line. According to Auburn Tigers On SI's Gunner Norene, these players lined up from left to right with the first team: Jo Simmons, Jacob Strand, Cole Best, Cole Skinner, and Stanton Ramil.
From left to right, Parker Pritchett, Deryc Plazz, Kail Ellis, Jacobe’ Ward and Wilson Zierer lined up for the second team, per Norene. The competition is far from over as Week 1 approaches on September 5.
Still, there are early shockers from the second week of fall camp.
Jacob Strand ahead of Deryc Plazz at left guard
The Oregon State transfer Strand was not expected to land ahead of the Miami transfer Plazz. Technically, he hasn't officially usurped him yet, since it's clear the battle is still fluid. Stanford transfer Jack Leyrer is also in the mix. Evidently, Leyrer has fallen behind the other two, but he shouldn't be counted out.
No one should. Part of having worries about the offensive line is being far from knowing who could be relied on. With three transfers at one position, it's truly hard to know who's the guy until the entire OL is being tested against live competition. Guard is an important position to see mesh with the rest of the interior linemen.
If Strand is healthy, he may be the guy who gets the nod right away. Strand missed the spring, but clearly he's made up ground quickly. Meanwhile, Leyrer could steal backup snaps at right guard, a position he hasn't played yet, but the only OL position besides center he's never taken a rep at, behind Cole Skinner after Tai Buster's injury last week. Leyrer started eight games at left guard, six at left tackle, and two at right tackle on the Cardinal.
Jo Simmons and Stanton Ramil settling into tackle roles
Ramil started 13 games in the past two years at the left tackle spot for Michigan State. An injury cost Ramil more than half of the 2025 season with the Spartans. Ramil wasn't fully healthy during the spring, and in his absence, the James Madison transfer Simmons has made a convincing case on the blindside.
That's a bit of a surprise. Ramil was a Thompson great in AHSAA 7A football during his high school days. One figures he'd fulfill his potential at the left tackle spot for the home-state team. Perhaps he'll get his chance, and he and Simmons will switch at some point. Perhaps injuries will necessitate a move.
It's a fluid situation everywhere besides the center position, where Best has no chance of losing the job to Ellis. Tyler Hudanick has a very tough job getting this group together, but there's at least continuity with Joel Gordon. There's at least continuity with his boss, Alex Golesh.
It may take a bit for the OL to get going during the 2026 season. Once this group learns to play fast, though, Byrum Brown's dual-threat abilities could make up for the uncertain protection to give the defense more to work with than it had last year.
Let's hope that's enough for progress in Golesh's first year at the helm.

Auburn Offense Explodes For Long Score & More on Day 7 of Fall Camp
By Gunner Norene
Auburn Tigers on SI
The Auburn Tigers are well into the second week of fall preseason camp, as they are just over three weeks out from their season opener against Baylor in Atlanta.
Wednesday morning’s practice saw Alex Golesh’s squad wear full pads for the first time of camp, and the media was granted a near 40-minute viewing window to watch the first few periods.
We got to see warmups, position drills, and a surprise 11-on-11 period, so let’s dive into some of my biggest observations and notes from Wednesday at the Woltosz Family Performance Center.
Brown Bomb to Koger in 11-on-11
Following the first period of warmups and drills, the team unexpectedly went into a brief 11-on-11 competition, when quarterback Byrum Brown found wide receiver Jeremiah Koger downfield for a long touchdown reception just a few plays into the first drive.
I couldn’t see exactly how long the play was from my vantage point, but it had to have been above 50 or 60 yards, and it caused the offensive sideline to absolutely erupt. On the other side, though, defensive DJ Durkin was heated after his unit surrendered a relatively easy deep ball, and understandably so.
Music Difference is Extremely Noticeable
This was the first fall camp practice I’ve attended this year, and the music when the media initially walked into the facility was extremely different from last year’s under former head coach Hugh Freeze.
There was lots of rap music, a refreshing thing to hear for many Auburn fans who disliked Freeze’s worship music in the middle of a football practice — and it was blasting. I could barely talk to the person next to me.
They also blared “Enter Sandman” on the outdoor speakers as the team was preparing for the 11-on-11 period, which visibly got the juices flowing.
Offensive Line Still Far From Set
Maybe one of the biggest concerns for this team is the brand new offensive line that will likely consist of five transfers, and that competition certainly seems far from over.
The first group of offensive linemen that lined up in the opening series of the 11-on-11 period was, from left to right, as follows: Jo Simmons, Jacob Strans, Cole Best, Cole Skinner, Stanton Ramil.
The second-team offensive line, from left to right, featured Parker Pritchett, Deryc Plazz, Kail Ellis, Jacobe’ Ward and Wilson Zierer.
Starting WR Rotation
The first trio of wide receivers to trot out alongside Brown on the opening drive included Keshaun Singleton, Jeremiah Koger and Chas Nimrod. True freshman De’Shawn Spencer, a young talent who’s certainly stood out thus far in fall camp, played with the second-team.
Punt Returner Competition
Special teams coordinator Jacob Bronowski was made available to the media following Wednesday’s practice, and he revealed that there are three candidates still battling to take the starting punt returner spot.
Bronowski was quick to name USF transfer Christian Neptune, Bryce Cain and De’Shawn Spencer as the main guys to watch for that role.
He was also asked about a kickoff returner, and he didn’t hesitate a second before saying Rayshawn Pleasant’s name and raving about his production as kick returner in 2025.
