The Auburn Tigers will have a new leading rusher in 2025 with Jarquez Hunter off to the LA Rams. Head coach Hugh Freeze likes what he sees in a deep Tigers' running back room.
00:00You know, Damar is the most complete right now, along with Cobb, most experienced understanding of who we are, what we do, what they're supposed to do in the RPO game if it's not given to them.
00:12And I am excited about, you know, Omar also and Darrell. Alvin is going to be fine. He's been dinged up and hadn't been able to get many reps the last four or five practices.
00:24So, hard to say much about that, but I think Damar and Cobb and Omar and Darrell are all getting better, you know, every practice.
00:34Jeremiah, the last couple of years, kind of being involved a little bit, how much has he progressed as a complete runner?
00:39Well, we'll see. I think he's going to have a breakout year.
00:43Y'all know we went through the, what, three or four days last week where all of our slot guys were down.
00:50So, we threw him back out there like we did last year some, and he's got a good football IQ and has that capacity for us to be able to use him in a lot of different ways, whether in the pass game or, now he's struggling a little in the pass game right now because he still has that brace on the thumb and catching is not real natural.
01:09But I think he gets out of that first of next week, so he's very versatile, and we can use him in a lot of ways, and I do expect him to have kind of a breakout year.
01:20He's probably got the best burst in the open field of any that we have.
