Auburn freshman defensive lineman explains who is the best offensive lineman he has gone up against in practice

Who is Auburn's best offensive lineman?

Offensive line is a position that has been interesting at Auburn for a very long time. It has been an up and down position for a while, and the Tigers have struggled to bring in top recruits, especially at the tackle position. 

One of the first things Coach Hugh Freeze did when he got on campus was go and get a bunch of talented offensive linemen out of the portal and some from the high school level. 

These additions helped Auburn have a serviceable offensive line a season ago, which is something we haven't seen in a few years. Now Coach Freeze is starting to land some talented linemen in the high school ranks, and hopefully, this will help sure up this position group for years to come. 

Freshman defensive lineman Malik Blocton joined the Locked On Auburn Podcast and was asked which is the best offensive lineman he has gone against during his time on the Plains. Without thinking for a long time, Blocton responded, "Either Dillon Wade or Connor Lew." 

Wade came in from Tulsa and had a really good season for the Tigers a year ago, proving to be a big get in the portal for Coach Freeze. Lew was a true freshman a season ago who was launched into the lineup when center Avery Jones went down with an injury and played really good football. 

Both Wade and Lew will likely start for the Tigers this season as the offensive line group looks to take another step in the right direction. An offense can't move without good offensive line play, and during the Hugh Freeze era at Auburn, the Tigers will move bodies in the trenches.
