Episode Details

Auburn’s future hinges on Jared Smith, the towering, highly-touted sophomore EDGE, as the Tigers gear up for 2026 without key pass rushers Keldric Faulk and Keyron Crawford. Smith, a four-star recruit from Alabaster, Alabama, flashed potential with two sacks and four TFLs last season, including a standout performance against South Alabama.
