Former Auburn defensive lineman praises his position coach at the Reese's Senior Bowl

The Reese's Senior Bowl is going on right now, and a handful of former Auburn Tigers are looking to raise their draft stock.

Four former Tigers are in Mobile, Alabama, for the Reese's Senior Bowl, including Marcus Harris, Jaylin Simpson, Nehemiah Pritchett, and DJ James. The Senior Bowl is a perfect opportunity for these college stars to showcase their skill against the best talent in college football, hoping to make some money in the NFL Draft. 

Harris had a really good season for the Auburn Tigers, totaling 40 tackles, seven sacks, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery. He was at Auburn for three seasons after starting his career at Kansas and elevated his game to the next level during his time on the Plains. With the season Harris had this year for the Auburn Tigers, he has himself in consideration to be a late day two pick or early day three pick which not many would have expected heading into 2023. 

Host of Locked On Auburn Zac Blackerby asked Harris what he learned from Coach Jeremy Garrett during his one season with him. Harris had this to say about Garrett," It's just the technique, being consistent with the technique every play. Just the energy and being myself. He allowed me to be myself. Coach Garrett is going to be a great coach in the future." 

Coach Garrett did a terrific job in his first season coaching at Auburn after following Coach Freeze from Liberty. Thanks to the impact of what Harris did during his time at Auburn and Coach Garrett developing talent the defensive line room is in an excellent spot for the future.
