USF Center Cole Best Joins Auburn, Boosts Offense

0:00On March 19th, Cole Best, a senior center from the University of South Florida, has transferred to Auburn Football. He followed his former head coach, Alex Golesch, to the planes this off-season, joining 11 other players from the Bulls. The group mostly bolsters Auburn's offense for the fall, with quarterback Byron Brown standing out among them. Best started his center for South Florida over the past two seasons, and earned all conference honors. Coaches see Best as a vital leader for the offensive line. His prior connection with Brown should boost the quarterback's confidence on every snap. Best has hit the ground running, building trust, with his new linemates through genuine relationships. He's focused on accountability and football leadership right away. With full support from the staff and familiar teammates, Best says the transition feels smooth despite being his first school switch. Auburn's offense looks stronger for it, heading into the season.
