How healthy is Auburn football going into fall camp? Hugh Freeze gives an update

Auburn football will enter fall camp with a mostly clean bill of health.

Head coach Hugh Freeze was asked about the team’s health at an Auburn AMBUSH event in Atlanta Monday night. Other than a few minor soft tissue injuries, Freeze said the team is set to enter camp without any major injuries.

“They’re kinda limited in some of the workouts but not anything that I think will prohibit them being ready to go for camp,” Freeze said.

The one exception is freshman corner Devin Williams, who tore his ACL during the spring. Williams’ injury creates a similar situation to last season, where another corner, Tyler Scott, tore his ACL during the summer, causing him to miss the 2024 season.

Freeze also announced when Auburn will begin fall camp, setting a July 29 start date. That means the Tigers will begin camp exactly one month before opening the season against Baylor on Aug. 29.

With fall camp now just two weeks away, Freeze said the team has one more week of hard workouts before some rest and preparation for camp.

“We’ll go pretty hard this week with Coach Dom [Studzinski] and our strength staff in our indoor workouts and player-led 7-on-7,” Freeze said. “We’ll go through next Thursday and then let them have Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday off. And then team meeting Monday night where I kinda set our theme and talk about, ‘Here we go and here’s our theme for fall camp,’ and remind them of the standards.”
