Auburn's roster saw a lot of transition this season, but there are areas with a lot of experience.

Oscar Chapman, a punter from Adelaide, South Australia, has been with the program since 2020. He has seen a lot of change but has remained a vital part of Auburn's roster throughout all of it.

Chapman has put a lot of people on notice, including a lot of people in the SEC as he was named to the SEC All-Preseason Team.

"It's exciting getting to see that other guys are seeing me," Chapman said. "It's exciting for me but I've got some fantastic force behind me and I'm ready to see how well we do as a group."

Chapman has become a veteran of the league and has found enjoyment in various aspects of college football.

"I think the fans, especially down in the South," Chapman said on his favorite thing about football. "They're some of the loveliest people I've ever seen."

In addition to punting, Chapman is the holder for the field goal and extra-point units. He elaborated on what he enjoys about the role.

"I get excited because I'm out there looking after my kicker and doing my best to put him in a position for us to score," Chapman said. "Looking out to make sure we've got everyone in the field and everyone is lined up the best we can be."

Auburn's veteran punter is looking to make his senior season his best one.
