Team Insider: Who’s primed to make an impact from the portal class?

SUMMER STANDOUTS

Auburn has the No. 1 linebacker in the SEC: returning 1st team all-league pick Xavier Atkins. He’s paired with several quality other LBs including a pair of Florida boys: Elijah Melendez (Kissimmee, Fla./Osceola) and Adam Balogoun-Ali (West Palm Beach, Fla./Cardinal Newman).

They are big, strong and deep on the defensive line - always of the utmost importance, especially in the SEC.

Look for Arkansas State transfer Cody Sigler to really provide a spark.
