Auburn’s linebacker room is getting a complete makeover in 2025, with all three starters from last season gone. With Eugene Asante, Austin Keys, and Dorian Mausi out the door, the Tigers are left with a young but extremely talented group. Who will step up and lead this defense?

🔥 Key Storylines:

🏈 Robert Woodyard’s breakout year? One of the last Harsin holdovers—can he take over a starting role?

💥 Where does Demarcus Riddick fit? Played a niche role in 2024 but is too talented to keep off the field.

🚀 DJ Barber, Xavier Atkins & the freshmen – Auburn only returns 3 linebackers—can the young guys step up?

🔍 Portal help needed? Should Auburn add a veteran LB in the spring to stabilize the defense?

With so many unknowns, Auburn’s linebacker group could be a major strength—or a major concern heading into 2025.
