On Air | Ryan LaVoie on Auburn’s Loaded Linebacker Room, Baylor Matchup & a Must-Win September

The Chuck Oliver Show previews Auburn football ahead of the Tigers’ matchup with Baylor, with Sports Call Auburn’s Ryan LaVoie breaking down the biggest storylines surrounding Hugh Freeze’s team. Auburn has plenty of talent returning on offense, including a wide receiver group that could be poised for a major breakout after a disappointing 2025 passing game. Cam Coleman, Eric Singleton, Perry Thompson and Chaz Nimrod headline a revamped receiving corps, while Auburn hopes its new offensive system can unlock the talent that was already on the roster. Ryan LaVoie explains why Chaz Nimrod could be Auburn’s biggest deep threat and what the Tigers can expect from quarterback play and the running game against Baylor. Defensively, Auburn could be especially strong at linebacker. Xavier Atkins, Elijah Melendez, Demarcus Riddick and Bryce Deas give DJ Durkin plenty of talent and versatility to work with. Could Auburn’s linebacker room become the strength of the defense? Plus, Chuck Oliver and Ryan LaVoie discuss the importance of Auburn starting 2-0, the difficult October schedule ahead, playing Baylor at Mercedes-Benz Stadium instead of Jordan-Hare Stadium, and what the Tigers need to accomplish early in the season to keep their bigger goals alive. #Auburn #AuburnFootball #AuburnTigers #HughFreeze #Baylor #CollegeFootball #ChazNimrod #XavierAtkins #DemarcusRiddick #RyanLaVoy #ChuckOliver
