0:00On March 11th, Auburn Tigers are ramping up for spring practices, with the A-Day game set for April 18th. Coaches get their first real look at the new roster, hunting for different makers who fly under the radar. Today we're spotlighting one underrated player at each offensive spot, guys who could surprise everyone. At quarterback, Tristan Ties stands out as a transfer from Oregon State. The former four star threw for nearly 400 yards and three touchdowns in limited action last year. He'll battle for the backup role behind Byron Brown, bringing smooth, dual threat skills that give him an edge. Running back Nike He Davenport from USF quietly joins a loaded group. He started five games last season, rushing for 612 yards and seven scores at 6 feet, 216 pounds. As a youngest with real experience, he's primed to be a future workhorse or key rotation piece. Why receiver Bryce Kane profiles as a slot spister, with quickness and sure hands, setting up for a breakout wretchert sophomore year.

1:03At tight end, Xavier Newsom brings athletic upside from FC as Howard, offering blocking power and receiving potential down the line. Offensive lineman Joe Simmons anchors the line after starting 13 games at left tackle for James Madison. Teddy blindside protection and run blocking fit perfectly for Auburn's ground attack. Keep an eye on these talents as spring ball unfolds. They might just reshape the offense.
