LB Deshaun Davis

Deshaun Davis burst onto the scene in 2016 and elevated Auburn’s linebacking corps to a new level. In the last two seasons, he’s started every game and recorded 150 tackles.

He’ll be in Atlanta on Thursday, representing the Tigers and we called it a no-brainer last week that Auburn should bring him for the SEC Media Days’ festivities. He’s a vocal leader, an on-the-field leader and one heckuva football player.

He’s played second fiddle to Tre Williams the last two seasons, but 2018 his time to take his game and the Auburn defense to a dominating level. The conference is stacked at linebacker, so it will be interesting to see how this one goes.
