Summary
Auburn’s defense is facing a major shake-up as key players like Keldric Faulk, Keyron Crawford, and Bobby Jamison-Travis head to the NFL, while secondary talents Jahquez Robinson and Kayin Lee are gone — raising alarms about a potential dip. The linebackers, led by Xavier Atkins, remain a strength, but the real test is whether younger D-line and secondary players can step up. Coach DJ Durkin, earning seven figures, is under pressure — a shaky defense could cost him his job, with Todd Orlando at South Alabama seen as a possible replacement. New leaders are needed, especially on pass rush and in the corners, with Jared Smith and DaShawn Womack showing promise — but Durkin can’t afford another stumble, especially with the offense potentially limited.
