With a new head coach and likely a whole new coaching staff arriving, it only makes sense that the Auburn football roster will have a revamped look next season.
The next head coach will have to prioritize keeping some talented guys from leaving (hello, Cam Coleman and Deuce Knight), while figuring out which guys who want to enter the transfer portal the Tigers could still be successful without.
With the seniors saying goodbye to Jordan-Hare Stadium one last time this Saturday as Auburn hosts rival Alabama, here are some other guys who could be suiting up for the Tigers for the last time on the Plains.
(Note: we excluded Keldric Faulk from this list due to him already going through Senior Day this past Saturday)
1. Jackson Arnold (QB)
The duo of Arnold and Hugh Freeze was never meant to be, as Arnold has lost his starting job while the former Auburn head coach is unemployed. A junior, Arnold has another year to find a spot where he can thrive, but it won't be with the Tigers. With Ashton Daniels and Deuce Knight both likely returning, he would find himself buried on the depth chart. A fresh start is probably needed for Arnold for the second time.
2. Towns McGough (K)
One of the strangest stories out of many during the past two seasons, McGough has seemingly lost all confidence in himself as a place kicker after a freshman year in which he went 5-of-12 on field goal attempts. The Auburn HS product has the leg to be a threat, but getting that confidence back will be huge wherever he might end up.
3. Xavier Chaplin (OL)
Chaplin finds himself on the long list of left tackles that came to Auburn hoping to solidify that side of the line, but never could. The Virginia Tech transfer has battled false-start problems due to a hearing condition, and has been more harmful than helpful in keeping Auburn's quarterbacks upright.
4. Joe Phillips (BUCK)
The Shorter, Ala., native has never found a spot in the rotation during his first two seasons with the Tigers, recording no stats so far this season.
5. Antonio Coleman (DL)
The freshman from Saraland HS was suspended indefinitely for violation of team rules in August and has yet to come close to seeing any playing time. While he can work himself into better standing under a new head coach, it's likely that Coleman, who continually flipped his commitment as a high school prospect, will look for a place where he can get a new start and contribute.
