AUBURN | Bryan Harsin doesn’t plan to start building Auburn’s depth chart until after Friday’s second scrimmage of fall camp, but we don’t mind getting a little ahead of ourselves at AuburnSports.com.

Below is a projection of how the offense could look when the Tigers open the season against Akron on Sept. 4.

QB

1. Bo Nix, Jr.

2. T.J. Finley, So.

3. Dematrius Davis, TFr.

Nix is the expected starter and current No. 1 but Finley has given him a battle and is a strong No. 2. Davis has taken several steps forward this fall..

RB

1. Tank Bigsby. So.

2. Shaun Shivers, Sr.

3. Jordon Ingram, RFr.

4. Jarquez Hunter, TFr.

The top two are pretty settled with the biggest battle being between Hunter and Ingram for No. 3. Bigsby is one of the nation’s best and Shivers gives AU a nice one-two punch.

WR1

1. Shedrick Jackson, Sr.

2. Ze’Vian Capers, So.

3. Elijah Canion, So.

WR2

1. Demetris Robertson, Sr.

2. Kobe Hudson, So.

3. Malcolm Johnson, So.

WR3

1. Ja’Varrius Johnson, So.

2. Tar’Varish Dawson, TFr.

3. J.J. Evans, RFr.

The fact that Robertson showed up after the start of camp and could be the team’s best receiver tells me this group still has a ways to go and just about any of the nine scholarship receivers could emerge as top targets.

TE

1. John Samuel Shenker, Sr.

2. Luke Deal, So.

3. Landen King, TFr.

4. Tyler Fromm, So.

5. Brandon Frazier, So.

King is another young playmaker making a move during camp but exactly how far he’s risen up the depth chart remains to be seen. This is a deep position and I expect all five, especially the top four, to play a good bit this fall.

LT

1. Austin Troxell, Sr.

2. Kilian Zierer, Jr.

3. Colby Smith, TFr.

LG

1. Brandon Council, Sr.

2. Alec Jackson, Sr.

3. Tate Johnson, So.

C

1. Nick Brahms, Sr.

2. Jalil Irvin, Jr.

3. Avery Jernigan, RFr.

RG

1. Keiondre Jones, So.

2. Tashawn Manning, Sr

3. Kameron Stutts, Jr.

RT

1. Brodarious Hamm, Sr.

2. Brenden Coffey, Sr.

3. Garner Langlo, TFr.

Harsin went through the two-deep on the offensive line Wednesday although there's still competition happening at several spots. Troxell and Brahms have been the standouts during camp..
