Auburn’s next wave at linebacker shows it’s 'not the end of the world' after losing veterans
That left the Tigers with a group short on significant playing experience and turning to reserves and newcomers to take on substantial roles this spring as the program looked to continue its recent resurgence at linebacker.
Pappoe will be cleared in time for the fall, but in the meantime, Auburn has turned to that next generation of linebackers to fill those voids in the middle of the defense. If spring was any indication, the Tigers shouldn’t expect much of a drop-off from the position. “We had Wesley and Cam Riley step up,” defensive lineman Colby Wooden said. “Joko Willis came in the Star role for us. They came in and did what we asked them to do, which was to help fill the gap for Owen while he’s making his return. They did a great job of that. There wasn’t any drop-off.”While that top trio of returning linebackers all made an impression on A-Day, and throughout the spring, the Tigers’ reserves at the position also had their moments.
