Hugh Freeze and his staff have worked swiftly to address one of the biggest concerns on Auburn’s roster — one that has been growing for years now.
“This is a big man league,” Freeze said last month during his early signing day press conference. “…Our emphasis will always be on making sure those rooms are correct. We’re not there yet. I hope recruits are listening.”
The additions of the 6-foot-4, 290-pound Wade and 6-foot-6, 275-pound Britton has turned Auburn into arguably the biggest transfer portal winner when it comes to the offensive line. The Tigers have secured commitments from two of the top-five rated offensive tackles in the portal, according to 247Sports’ rankings.
The additions of Wade and Britton provide some immediate relief at tackle for Auburn heading into Year 1 under Freeze. Wade should have two years of eligibility remaining, while Britton should have one year left.
During Malzahn’s last few seasons at Auburn, offensive line recruiting fell off as well. The Tigers signed just one blue-chip lineman during Malzahn’s final three full recruiting classes . In all, Auburn signed three or fewer offensive linemen eight times in the 10 years prior to Freeze’s arrival.
