Alabama Crimson TideAuburn Tigers

The Auburn Tigers gave everything they had against the Alabama Crimson Tide but lost a heartbreaker in the Iron Bowl. 

Although the game didn't go the way many would have hoped, losing in that painful of a way, there were a handful of Tigers who played well in this matchup. 

Let's take a look at five players who raised their stock in a painful Iron Bowl loss. 

Ja'Varrius Johnson

Ja'Varrius was the offense for Auburn, as he had two touchdowns in this game, one rushing and one receiving. Johnson looked like a true wide receiver one for the Tigers with 88 total yards in this game. He has gotten more involved these last few weeks, and it is paying off for this Auburn offense. 

Damari Alston

Damari Alston carried the football ten times in this game for 85 yards and a touchdown. Alston and Jarquez Hunter looked like a true one-two punch, which, assuming Hunter is back next season, will be a big part of Auburn's 2024 team. Heading into this season, we didn't know what Alston's role would look like, but it has been large, and he has looked good when healthy. 

Marcus Harris

Marcus Harris continues to play excellent football for the Auburn Tigers, as he had two tackles in this game, including a sack and 1.5 tackles for loss. Harris has become a player who is on the stock risers' article almost every week and has made himself a ton of money this season. He could be a day-two pick in the NFL Draft. 

Jalen McLeod

Jalen McLeod had a big game for the Tigers, causing havoc all game long. McLeod had eight tackles and a tackle for loss. The Appalachian State transfer was the highest-graded player on defense, with a 74.5. It's scary to think what McLeod will do in his second season on the Plains, assuming he does come back. 

Connor Lew

Ever since Conner Lew took over, he has been really good for the Auburn Tigers as a true freshman. Lew graded out well in this game at a 71.1. This was the third-best offensive grade behind only Johnson and Alston. It's really scary to think how good Lew is going to be in the future for Hugh Freeze's squad. Lew will be an NFL player someday.
