Welcome to the Woltosz Football Performance Center for Hugh Freeze’s last press conference before the team plays Saturday’s A-Day scrimmage at Jordan-Hare.

Freeze will address reporters about his team’s progress during his first spring camp as Tigers head football coach. He’ll talk less than an hour before Monday’s practice. The Tigers will practice again on Wednesday to finalize prep for the end of spring camp.

We’ll have updates from Freeze’s chat with journalists on AL.Com/AuburnFootball.

— Freeze starts with an update on Robby Ashford. Freeze said Ashford should be a full participant in today’s practice on campus. Ashford was slowed last week with a shoulder injury.

“I thought Wednesday in practice he was fairly close to full speed,” Freeze said during the media session. “Well enough to take reps… I saw him in the team meeting earlier; he had his therapy stuff on (his shoulder)… he’s going today, so I think he’s okay.”

— Freeze says the team is healthy enough for a defense versus offense scrimmage for the A-Day game.

“I want to prepare the Auburn family that we’re going to do the best we can,” Freeze said about the spring game. “We’re going to give them a game that I hope they can enjoy, but understand, we don’t know who we are offensively right now.”

“We’re going to give them a game that I hope they can enjoy but understand, gosh, we don’t know who we are on offense. That’s probably the way I want it to be perceived by most.”

— Freeze says today’s practice will be a contact practice. He expects Wednesday to be non-contact and Friday will be a walkthrough.

— Freeze says he’s pleased with defensive tackling skills during spring camp.

— “Don’t expect too much, truthfully,” Freeze on how he prepares for the spring game. “I just don’t want to show too much of what we might be really good at.”

— “Don’t expect too much. Unrealistic expectations lead to frustrations,” Freeze on setting expectations for fans coming to watch A-Day.

— Freeze says Jarquez Hunter is the best running back he’s coached.

— “Solid. Solid. I think he really has a real chance to be a solid quarterback,” Hugh Freeze said on redshirt freshman Holden Geriner. “But I think the other two (Robby Ashford and T.J. Finley) had good days, also. Better days. The interesting thing will be their response to the competition that’s been created.”

— “NFL teams get to scrimmage against each other,” Freeze on the potential of college football teams playing against other teams in scrimmage games. “High school teams get to scrimmage against each other. For the life of me, I don’t know why we haven’t got there.”

— Freeze on how the QBs have improved. Robby Ashford: Pocket presence TJ Finley: Playing within the system better. Holden Geriner: Accuracy, particularly on down-the-field throws.

— Freeze says tight end Rivaldo Fairweather has been the most consistent catcher right now. – Javarrius Johnson and Jay Fair have been the most consistent WRs in practice.
