Auburn Briefing: Three Tigers that I'm excited to see more of this week

Auburn football's fall camp is already filled with storylines thanks to half the roster being brand new.

Payton Thorne and Robby Ashford dominated headlines all summer as well as questions about who could start at wide receiver. We still have a long way to go but some of these questions could be on their way to being answered before AUburn hosts UMass to start the season.

This week could be a big week for some Auburn Tigers. Sunday was the first day in pads. Long physical days in the August heat will show the Auburn coaching staff plenty of information on who deserves reps this season.

Here are three Auburn Tigers worth following this week.

Holden Geriner, QB

As I said above, off-season chatter was dominated by the battle between Thorne and Ashford. Geriner has been running with the ones with Thorne during the open media windows and when I asked a source if that trend continued throughout the remainder of practice, they said yes.

Geriner came on late during Spring practice and has held onto that momentum. His mustache game is strong as well.

Zykeivous Walker, DL

Auburn needs movement and rotation on the defensive front. From my sources, Walker has turned in early and turned some heads early in fall camp. The junior looks the part standing at 6-foot-4, 296 pounds. Walker seems like a player that could be gaining a market share of the snaps early in fall camp.

Big weekend for his family as his younger brother, Jalewis Solomon committed to Auburn over South Carolina on Saturday.

Jeremiah Cobb, RB

The freshman running back is passing the eye test early. He may be getting more reps than some expected due to Jarquez Hunter missing at least the first two practices of fall camp and Brian Battie returning from an injury he suffered back in spring.

What's happening today

The media will hear from offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery and defensive coordinator Ron Roberts after practice at 11:30 CT today.

We will have stories with quotes from these press conferences later today at Auburn Daily.

CBS Sports has released their preseason college football rankings for all 133 FBS teams. According to the rankings, Auburn will have to do some work to get back into the top 25.Hugh Freeze's Tigers rank No. 38 in the preseason rankings. That's good for 10th in the SEC.
