Who are some guys that Auburn fans do not know about, but they should be watching over the summer and heading into the fall?

On offense, I would say look for a guy like Mike Williams who will be returning after an injury. He was Watson’s favorite target before the injury and having him back will be a big boost for the Tigers.

Also, look for Adam Choice. Choice is going to be the second-string running back, but before an injury back in 2014, he had actually beaten Wayne Gallman out for the starting position. He is a strong and physical runner.

On defense, the name everyone is excited about is Dexter Lawrence. Lawrence is a true-freshman defensive tackle who enrolled early. He weighs in at 340 and stands tall at 6-foot-5, but the amazing thing is how fast he is. He has great footwork and is going to be a force for Clemson’s defensive line.
