Auburn's new defensive tackles coach describes his recruiting style
Auburn had a bunch of coaching turnover after Hugh Freeze's first season on the Plains, as the Tiger's head coach had to find a new offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, and defensive tackles coach.
Auburn's defensive line coach from a season ago, Jeremy Garrett, left the program after one season to be the new defensive line coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars. This is a great step up for Garrett, who did a great job during his lone season at Auburn, but Coach Freeze is looking for a new coach.
Instead of bringing in a new defensive line coach he promoted former analyst Vontrell King-Williams to be the new defensive tackles coach. King-Williams will coach the interior guys, while Josh Aldridge will coach the edge guys. Coach King-Williams is beloved by the players, who were ecstatic to hear that he would be the new defensive tackles coach. Coach Freeze and Coach King-Williams already have a solid relationship as they worked together at Liberty.
King-Williams had this to say about his recruiting style, "Jeremy Garrett is one of those guys who used the relationship piece. That's really how I would describe my recruiting style is relationships. I'm going to be who I am, and we're going to build a relationship. I try to take things I see from everyone and make it my own."
Recruiting is all about building relationships and hearing how much the players like Coach King-Williams there is no doubt that he will bring in some incredible interior defensive linemen during his time coaching at Auburn.
