Xavier Atkins and Byrum Brown are turning heads for Auburn, both earning spots on On3’s Top 100 Players list for 2026. Atkins, a defensive powerhouse, racked up 84 tackles and 9 sacks last season, while Brown, the new dual-threat QB, is already drawing Cam Newton comparisons after a monster year at USF. With new coach Alex Golesh at the helm and these two leading the charge, there’s a real sense of hope on the Plains. Will this finally be the season Auburn breaks its bowl drought? What do you think this new era means for the Tigers? #Sports #Football #AuburnTigers
