Auburn’s Come-Up Season Begins | Auburn Tigers Football News

Auburn’s future looks brighter than ever as they’re now in ESPN’s “On the Come Up” tier for 2026 — a big leap from last year’s zero-for-six in one-possession games.

The defense, led by returning coordinator DJ Durkin, remains stout, while receivers Keshaun Singleton and Chas Nimrod step into bigger roles. The offensive line still needs work, but with Golesh’s system and strong leadership, Auburn could be on the verge of a breakout season — if they can keep the momentum rolling all year.
