Auburn football takeaways, observations from fall camp Saturday practice
Here's a look at what we saw from Auburn football's latest practice as it wraps up the opening week of fall camp.
Auburn football concluded its initial week of preseason pads on Saturday, Aug. 8, with a practice at the Woltosz Football Performance Center. The Tigers, preparing for their 2026 season under new head coach Alex Golesh, saw two notable absences during the public viewing window. Running back Bryson Washington, who transferred from Baylor, and defensive lineman Malik Autry were both absent.
Washington has been in discussions about his condition, with coach Golesh noting that the demands of the offense require elite physical shape. Defensive lineman Autry, a rising sophomore, is vying for a starting spot on the defensive line. Auburn's offensive line designations appeared clearer during the practice, with linemen Cole Best, Cole Skinner, and Deryc Plazz participating in individual sled work.
The passing drills featured quarters, receivers, and tight ends in their typical order. Chas Nimrod and Keshaun Singleton were the first receivers, while Jake Johnson was the first tight end. Arlis Boardingham and DeShawn Spencer were among the tight ends, with DeShawn Spencer having a new presence in the lineup. Adam Cole is the Auburn athletics beat writer for the Montgomery Advertiser.
