Podcast: Auburn’s biggest question marks entering 2026
- Stanton-Ramil remained healthy and fully available through both scrimmages, an important positive for Auburn's offensive-line continuity.
- Colton Huddsler's ability to play multiple spots gives Auburn built-in depth, but keeping the entire line healthy remains a central concern.
- Alex Golesh has emphasized that Auburn's weekly offensive ceiling will follow the offensive line, while the staff also wants enough front-line rotation to keep its pass rush fresh later in drives.
