The full Auburn depth chart for Week 12
It’s about that time of the week again, and this depth chart comes with two significant changes as the Tigers prepare to face Western Kentucky on Saturday.
The first big one is that quarterback T.J. Finley is no longer listed on the team’s depth chart. The news comes shortly after Finley decided to sit out the rest of the season and enter the transfer portal soon, so it would make sense that he would not appear on the depth chart.
Secondly, a permanent change has been made at kicker. Kicker Alex McPherson is officially listed as the team’s starting kicker on the Week 12 depth chart, which comes as a change from last week — McPherson did start against Texas A&M, but kicker Anders Carlson was still named as the starting kicker on the depth chart the week before that game.
Without further ado, here is Auburn’s football team for Week 12:
