In this story:

Auburn football is currently seven practices into spring.

With A-Day on the horizon, head coach Hugh Freeze has been clear informing the media that he and his staff are still on the look for some growth and consistency across the board - from all units.

The Tigers' 2022 defense was one of the weakest units Auburn has put out in quite some time - and with a new DC, scheme, and a plethora of new faces, there's an expectation that Auburn rebounds from their poor showing last season.

Here's a gallery of most of the faces you should expect to see contributing this fall.
