Auburn football releases depth chart for Week 1's game vs Baylor
Some big questions answered on Monday when Auburn football unveiled its first depth chart of the 2026 season.
Auburn football has unveiled its depth chart for their Week 1 matchup against Baylor at the Aflac Kickoff Game in Atlanta, Georgia. Head coach Alex Golesh is set to guide the team through their inaugural game as head coach of the Auburn Tigers. The Aflac Kickoff Game sees Auburn heading to Atlanta, Georgia, for a weekend showdown with the Baylor Bears.
The release of the depth chart has shed light on several key positions, including the running back corps. Jeremiah Cobb is confirmed as the starting running back (RB1), while the positions of RB2 are shared between Omar Mabson and Bryson Washington. This split will undoubtedly provide depth and versatility to Auburn's backfield.
However, concerns arise in the offensive line department. Starting left tackle is Jo Simmons, with Stanton Ramil and Cole Best serving as the starter at right tackle and center respectively. The rotation at the guards' positions appears to be in flux, with multiple players vying for starting roles.

Running backs Jeremiah Cobb, Omar Mabson, and Bryson Washington comprise the backfield. The offensive line features Jo Simmons, Jacob Strand, Cole Best, and Cole Skinner.
On defense, Cody Sigler, Dallas Walker, and Chris Murray are among the starters. The secondary includes safeties Champ Anthony and Anquon Fegans, while special teams units are led by Kicker Alex McPherson and punter Hudson Kaak.
