What recent news about Auburn's football team is discussed?
It's the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day. We were all starting to ask, okay, where are the linemen? Where are the big guys up front? They just got a good one. They just got a good one. You are Locked On Auburn, your daily podcast on the Auburn Tigers. Part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day. Yes, welcome on in to Lockdown Auburn, your daily Auburn Tigers podcast. I'm your host, Zach Blackerby, and thank you so much for making Lockdown Auburn your first listen every single day. News breaking. I saw Jeffrey Lee report it first. Yvonne Three will give him their credit there. Cody Siegler, the defensive tackle from Arkansas State, signing with the Auburn Tigers. defensive tackle, probably going to play a lot of three technique for Auburn.
At least that's what he did at Arkansas State, according to our friends at Pro Football Focus. I think this is important for several reasons. This is a guy that was desired pretty early on by the staff, according to reports and rumblings, but he was wanted by a lot of teams. We've seen precedents for this before, where you get guys out of Arkansas State or App State. Auburn's gotten an edge guy from App State in the past, Jalen McLeod, an edge guy from Arkansas State. Sigler, an interior guy, but still you've seen guys at the G5 level excel and then they get a chance at the SEC or the Big Ten, and they take that next step. This is what's expected for Cody Ziegler, who I think can be a guy who absolutely, absolutely takes that next step for this defensive front.
Big out of necessity, too. Obviously, you just need bodies to some extent, and you want those guys to be as good as possible, but defensive line was one of the several needs that we all kind of agreed upon. You look at the roster, like, yeah, okay. They need more help there, both in the upside and with the depth. And so you get the, the announcement from Lee Goddard and Jordan Crawford that they're coming back. That's good. It's good. Starting points, good core, but you need more. And yeah, Both of those guys being true sophomores this season. Sigler coming in and being a senior, which is nice. You need a nice combination of action there. Looking at his stats, 6'3", 297, big, big boy. So could play the nose, too, probably at that.
So positional versatility, upside, depth, upside. Put him next to Malik Autry or Jordan Crawford. We haven't heard on Darian Smith yet. I think Corey Wells is going to play as a freshman. We're getting there. Still need more guys. I'd still like at least two more. I'd honestly like three, but two more for sure. As far as guys who can play in the interior, you're going to need guys on the edge as well. But look, this was a recruiting battle. I mean, when you Google his name, there's like... Definitely a bunch of different team sites writing about Cody Sigler because I think he entertained several different schools. And Auburn was the one who got it done. So exciting, exciting, exciting. I love the precedent set, though, because this is...
When the transfer portal really hit the ground running, this is kind of the first place my brain went years ago.
Who is Cody Sigler and what is his background?
Man, this is going to be awesome for those guys who kill it at a lower level of competition. And then, okay, maybe they don't get enough draft attention. They get to prove it one more time on the largest stages in college football. And that's what Sigler gets to do. There's also a track record for him coming in and Vontrell King-Williams helping guys get better. over a one-year stint with him. I think that's awesome.
What role is Cody Sigler expected to play on the team?
I think that's awesome. So, Sigler, the latest addition. Been two guys added to the portal on the trenches. You got Stanton Ramil yesterday, the Michigan State left tackle. Now you get Sigler on the defensive line. So, there we go. We need more. We need more. But it's a solid, solid start. This is a guy that makes a ton of sense.
Why is Cody Sigler's transfer significant for Auburn's defense?
Played a lot of football. Last year, had 513 snaps on the defensive line. Played a little bit of special teams as well. Field goal block, all of that good stuff.
