AUBURN — There were two small changes to Auburn football's depth chart released Monday ahead of the Tigers' game at Penn State.
Freshman Jarquez Hunter, who has turned heads with back-to-back 100-yard games to start his college career, is now listed as an "OR" with senior Shaun Shivers as a No. 2 running back. Hunter was named offensive player of the week in Auburn's game notes. Shivers was not at the game against Alabama State
Meanwhile, two "OR" designations have disappeared on the offensive line. Brandon Council seems to have fully won the position battle for starting left guard over Alec Jackson, and Keiondre Jones is the only starter listed at right guard now with Tashawn Manning moved to the two-deep.
There was no change listed on the depth chart among Auburn's safeties, but Zion Puckett got the start over Bydarrius Knighten against Alabama State.
