AUBURN, Ala. — It's approaching full-blown preview time in the college football offseason calendar. The traditional print preview magazines are starting to hit the newsstands, and more online outlets are pushing out 2016 predictions as the long summer months continue.
Now that spring practices are in the rearview mirror and summer enrollees are starting to arrive on campus, Auburn nearly has its roster for a crucial 2016 season finalized.
The Tigers are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 7-6 campaign in a big way with a good mix of returning starters and exciting new talent. Another quarterback race is heating up the Plains, and with the amount of playmakers back for 2016, Auburn's defense could be one of the best since the days of head coach Tommy Tuberville's stifling units.
The regular-season schedule will be brutal and bookended by games against the two teams that played for last season's national championship—Clemson and Alabama, respectively. But the Tigers have shown themselves to be capable of quite a few surprises under head coach Gus Malzahn, and his new-look staff will be looking to turn around the momentum in Jordan-Hare Stadium after falling short of high expectations.
Let's take a position-by-position look at this Tigers roster, focusing on the starters, the key reserves and the next generation of talent Auburn fans everywhere will be talking about this fall.
