Mobile Press-Register The SEC has since reviewed the play to use as a teaching tool for its officials . . . "Auburn usually puts something special together. I'm really excited about it . . . Garner's goal is to get Wright -- and the rest of Auburn's defensive tackles -- to play with better leverage and strength inside, pushing the pocket and establishing a new line of scrimmage . . . If Auburn wants to get back into that group of leaders, the best way to do so is to get him back to the Plains . . . All spring, Garrett's praises were sung . . . Rashaan has been a top priority for the hometown Auburn Tigers and while many assume the defender is lock to stay near home for college, both he and his father insist it's not as cut and dry a decision as some may believe . . . Throw in Garner's acumen for teaching inside techniques, and expect Adams to be part of a very good run defense for a very long time . . . Gus Malzahn and his staff will also host a number of elite prospects from the state of Georgia, a key recruiting territory for the Tigers . . . Alabama's Mr. Football is going to get a solid look and opportunity to compete . . . With those seven enrolled, here's a look -- in alphabetical order -- at where they will likely fit when practice opens in the fall . . . Cody Parkey and Steven Clark return at kicker and punter respectively and experience in the kicking game is always important, particularly late in games . . . Luginbill placed Lawson among his list of five freshmen nationally who will make an immediate impact, citing Auburn's need for help along the defensive line . . . It's unlikely the position battle will be settled until fall camp . . . After a season playing quarterback for the Garden City (Kan.) Community College Broncbusters, he's headed back to the SEC, looking for a fresh start after choosing the Tigers over Kansas State and briefly flirting with Texas . . . Rhett Lashlee considered him the most consistent receiver during spring . . . Even with kids who look like they have cut off recruiting and appear solidly committed, smart coaches at the school he has committed to realize their job is not done . . . Choice, a 5-foot-9, 206-pounder from Thomas County (Ga.) Central High School, chose the Tigers over scholarship offers from Texas, Auburn, Stanford, Georgia Tech and others . . . He holds scholarship offers from LSU, Georgia, Clemson, South Carolina, Auburn, Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri . . . The tallest receiver on the roster, Denson will be a mismatch to nearly every corner he'll line up with but he has to prove his worth first . . . Reed brings another dynamic to the offense . . . Defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson was pleased throughout the spring with the way his cornerbacks played . . . The defensive staff considers him one of the best 11 players and will try to get him on the field a lot, whether that's at safety or corner . . . "I grew up an Auburn fan but I always told people from the beginning that being an Auburn fan was not going to have any impact on my decision . . .
