The second spring camp of the Hugh Freeze era at Auburn is just around the corner as it’s set to get underway Feb. 27.

The Tigers will then proceed to hold 13 spring practices in preparation of Auburn’s spring game — also known as A-Day — which is set to be played on April 6 at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Before spring practices get underway, AL.com will take a position-by-position look at the Tigers’ roster. Here’s an inside look at Auburn’s offensive line room heading into spring camp.

Who did the Tigers lose in their offensive line room?

The end of the 2023 season marked the end of the college playing careers of for four different Auburn offensive linemen as Gunner Britton, Jalil Irvin, Avery Jones and Kam Stutts all ran out of eligibility.

In the case of Britton, Irvin and Stutts, their departures mean the Tigers will be without a trio of players who started every single game last fall. Meanwhile, Jones was another key piece along Auburn’s offensive front as he appeared in eight games after suffering an injury later in the season.

Who are the Tigers returning to their offensive line room?

Auburn is fortunate to have a slew of offensive linemen set to return this to action this spring.

Of those set to return to The Plains for this spring and beyond, perhaps the most notable names are fifth-year senior Jeremiah Wright, senior Dillon Wade, senior Izavion ‘Too Tall’ Miller, senior Jaden Muskrat, senior Tate Johnson and sophomore Connor Lew.

Together, those six guys combined for 76 appearances last season with Johnson, Miller, Muskrat and Wade all appearing in all 13 games, while Lew and Wright both appeared in 12 games in 2023.

At the start of the season, Freeze and Auburn’s coaching staff were all super high on Miller, who had transferred in from the JUCO ranks prior to last season.

“It’s a case of a guy that’s stood out the entire camp — his body has changed since he got here, and he’s stood out all camp. It’s Izavion Miller — “Too Tall,” Freeze said last August. “We can’t keep him off the field. He’s going to have to play.”

And Miller did play plenty last fall, though primarily as a rotational piece as the speed and physicality of SEC play might’ve been too big of an adjustment for someone coming out of the JUCO ranks. However, now with a full season under his belt, it’s likely Miller could be a staple along the offensive front.

Meanwhile, Lew got pushed into a starting role late last season after Jones suffered an injury, which forced him to miss five games. And Lew capitalized on the opportunity.

“The dude is going to be special here for a long time. I don’t know how many times you’ll see a freshman offensive lineman at any level of college football come in and play,” Britton said of Lew, who is likely to take over as Auburn’s starting center in 2024. “The way he’s been able to prepare and play well, it just shows what kind of guy he is. He’s mature beyond his years.”

Auburn is also set to return sophomore EJ Harris, redshirt freshman Tyler Joiner, redshirt freshman Dylan Senda, redshirt freshman Bradyn Joiner and redshirt freshman Clay Wedin to the Tigers’ offensive line room this spring.

Who did the Tigers add to their offensive line room?

While Auburn returns a nice bulk of its offensive line room heading into the spring, the experience they lost in Britton, Irvin, Jones and Stutts shouldn’t be overlooked. Not to mention, the offensive front is a position group where there is no such thing as too much depth.

As such, the Tigers went on to add four new faces to its offensive line — two transfers in Mississippi State transfer Percy Lewis and JUCO transfer Seth Wilfred, in addition to a pair of impressive freshmen in DeAndre Carter and Favour Edwin.

In the case of Lewis, not only does he bring ample college football experience to Auburn’s offensive line room as a rising fifth-year senior, but he also comes with SEC experience after spending two years in Starkville. Across two seasons with the Bulldogs, Lewis tallied eight starts and appeared in 25 games.

Meanwhile, Wilfred comes to The Plains after earning first-team All-American honors at the junior college level this season.

As for the young guys, Auburn secured quite the haul as Carter ranked as the 15th-best interior offensive lineman in the 2024 class, while Edwin was a late, 3-star addition for the Tigers.

“I love the two that we have – DeAndre and Seth. I think Seth was named yesterday (a) First Team All-American. It’s something that we saw in him,” Freeze said during his national signing day conference, which was held before Edwin was in the fold. “Obviously, DeAndre is one, I think he’s going to be an NFL inside guard/center. Love him as a kid.”
