The Auburn Tigers might be shaking things up along the offensive line, head coach Hugh Freeze revealed Wednesday morning during the SEC Coaches’ Teleconference.

Jaden Muskrat, a junior Tulsa transfer, appeared at right tackle in Auburn’s game against LSU last Saturday in an effort that pleased Freeze.

“Thought he played really well and finished the game well,” Freeze said of Muskrat. “I will say they had some backups in towards the end of the game and sometimes that makes a difference, but I thought he did really well.”

Muskrat entered the game to relieve JUCO product Izavion ‘Too Tall’ Miller, who has been a staple along the Auburn offensive line all season.

When asked who on the offensive line stood out during fall camp, Freeze was always quick to drop Miller’s name.

“His body has changed since he got here, and he’s stood out all camp,” Freeze said in August. “We can’t keep him off the field. He’s going to have to play.”

However, the 6-foot-5, 318-pound offensive linemen has seemingly struggled with his transition into the SEC, which is indicated by his 57.8 offensive grade, according to Pro Football Focus. Miller’s grade ranks 389th out of the 594 total offensive tackles studied by PFF.

After Muskrat impressed in Baton Rouge, Freeze says there’s been a lot of eyes locked on the right tackle position this week.

“This week, we’re kinda having an open competition there for (Muskrat) and Too Tall,” Freeze said.

Muskrat arrived on The Plains in May, joining offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery and fellow offensive lineman Dillon Wade from Tulsa.

During his time at Auburn, Muskrat has been highly regarded for his versatility, which Freeze again mentioned Wednesday.

“He’s getting reps – probably too many in practice right now – at different spots,” Freeze said.

And whether it’s at right tackle or somewhere else along the offensive line, Auburn will need both Miller and Muskrat available, Freeze said, adding that both first-year Tigers will see time on Saturday as Auburn hosts No. 13 Ole Miss.

“It’s not great,” Freeze said when asked about the offensive line’s health. ”We’ve got two that we’ve kinda had to sit out this week for practice in hopes they can play, which is never a good thing. I mean, they’re out there, but they can’t really get good work in.

“I’m sure everybody has got some of that going on, but we’re thin at a lot of places and I think it is affecting the way we practice some and I think that shows up some on Saturday’s, unfortunately.”
