4. Wide receiver Eli Stove

Auburn’s leading wide receiver last year was Tony Stevens, but his 31 catches for 487 yards and three touchdowns would have made him the No. 3 or No. 4 receiver on another team. Stidham will need to find a go-to receiver, and Eli Stove is the best bet. As a freshman, Stove caught 23 passes for 224 yards and ran for 131 yards on 11 carries. His speed around the corner showed Auburn fans that he can be a game changer. He lettered in track in high school and was a player in the Under Armour All-America Game. Auburn needs a breakaway wide receiver, and Stove is the most likely choice.
