In practice Thursday, Auburn showed a new look on the offensive line, moving Izavion Miller into the first-team group. Is that a sign of changes that will stick?
AUBURN, AL - March 01, 2023 - Auburn Offensive Lineman Izavion Miller during spring practice at the Woltosz Football Performance Center in Auburn, AL. Photo by Austin PerrymanHugh Freeze said he wants to recruit more guys like him and it’s not hard to see why. Izavion “Too Tall” Miller is well, quite tall at 6-foot-6, 320 pounds. But even at that size, Auburn’s head coach said he’s strong, flexible and has “explosion” off the line of scrimmage.
On Thursday, when media members were able to watch the final 90 minutes of practice, Auburn showed a new lineup. Britton shifted over to left guard and Miller moved up to the first-team line and played right tackle. That pushed Wright to the second-team left guard and Johnson played right guard on the second group.
“You want your best five out there,” Freeze said. “It’s a case of a guy that’s stood out the entire camp -- his body has changed since he got here, and he’s stood out all camp. It’s Izavion Miller.” A changing look on the line isn’t necessarily a sign of anything permanent. Rotation isn’t anything new for Auburn — in fact, it’s been a staple of the preseason. The new-look group seen in practice — and which Freeze implied was used again in the scrimmage Saturday — comes as a result of Freeze wanting to see all his options in case of potential injuries, and knowing who he wants to keep on his travel roster.
