The Southeastern 16 crew previews the 2025 Auburn football season and gives predictions for what’s ahead. Topics include:

So much depends on Oklahoma transfer quarterback Jackson Arnold, a top-10 player in high school class whose 2024 season didn’t live up to expectations on an OU offense gutted by injury. Will a revitalized Arnold hit his ceiling in Hugh Freeze’s offense?

He’s helped by perhaps the best pass-catching duo the country in Cam Coleman and Georgia Tech transfer Eric Singleton, plus, the return of Malcom Simmons as a capable third wideout.

The Tigers return some experience at running back in Damani Austin and Jeremiah Cobb.

Auburn returns its middle-of-the-offensive-line starters in Dillon Wade, Connor Lew and Jeremiah Wright, plus talented tackle transfer Xavier Chaplin.

Auburn’s defense is led by end Keldric Faulk, a preseason All-SEC pick and a potential 2026 NFL first-rounder.

The Tigers return Kayin Lee and Jay Crawford off good 2024 seasons, and added another eight transfers who could see time on the two-deep, including Liberty’s Jay Hardy and Arkansas State’s Keyron Crawford.

Coach Hugh Freeze enters the season on the hot seat, and an interesting first-half of the schedule could have a lot to do with how things go for Freeze, who has his most talented Auburn team yet.

Southeastern 16’s Chris Lee and Jay Greeson preview the South Carolina Gamecocks for the 2025 season. Topics include:

LaNorris Sellers was so outstanding in the second half that he’s now considered a future NFL first-rounder. The Gamecocks' hopes revolve around one of the NCAA’s fastest-rising stars.

The Gamecocks need mega-talent Nyck Harbor to step up.

South Carolina has a very experienced offensive line, including some off-season transfer additions.

Mainstream expectation is that the defense will take a step back, but Dylan Stewart is one of the country’s top defenders and coach Shane Beamer has done an outstanding job of developing defensive talent recently.

Carolina has a special-teams rebuild, but that’s an area where Beamer excels. Mason Love will be the rare kicker-punter leading the way.
