Auburn's RB Depth Could Dominate 2026 | Auburn Tigers Football News

Auburn’s 2026 ground game is poised to dominate, with Coach Golesh locking in the run from day one. Ranked 14th nationally by Phil Steele—even without Byrum Brown’s 1,000-yard breakout—this backfield boasts elite depth led by Jeremiah Cobb (nearly 1,000 yards, 5 TDs). The RB2 battle is heating up: Bryson Washington (Baylor transfer, injury setbacks but recovering), Omar Mabson (sophomore with untapped potential), and Nykahi Davenport (USF transfer, 600+ yards, 7 TDs as a freshman) all vying for top spot. Tae Meadows and Alvin Henderson are depth pieces ready to contribute. But the real key? The offensive line—if they gel, this unit could be unstoppable; if not, it could be the Achilles’ heel.
