Auburn's head coach Alex Golesh addressed the media on Tuesday, outlining the health status of the roster as the program prepares for its first preseason camp of the year.
Golesh confirmed that only one athlete, Devin Williams, will be sidelined for the opening weeks due to a torn ACL. The injury will keep Williams out of action until later in the season, but the coach emphasized that the rest of the squad is fully available.
A handful of players are currently limited by post‑spring surgical recoveries, yet the overall depth chart remains intact. The team enters camp with a clean bill of health aside from those isolated cases.
Among those expected to be ready are standout contributors Christian Neptune, Champ Anthony, and De'marcus Riddick, who are slated to take part in all drills from day one.
Key Practice Participants
The upcoming sessions will be especially critical for Bryson Washington, Jonathan Echols, and Stanton Ramil. Each missed the spring schedule and now faces a make‑up period to regain full conditioning and tactical familiarity.
Golesh stressed that these practices serve as a litmus test for the team's readiness, allowing coaches to evaluate integration of returning players and assess the progress of those returning from surgery.
Overall, the coach expressed confidence that the camp will provide the necessary foundation for a strong start to the season, with the injury list remaining minimal and the roster poised for a competitive push.
