Auburn’s freshman slot spark with real early buzz
In the 2026 season, DeShawn Spencer enters Auburn as a true freshman receiver whose quick rise has coaches leaning in: he earned Offensive MVP honors at A-Day with 9 catches for 93 yards and has reportedly worked with the first-team slot group in camp. He was a late flip from Duke, a three-star recruit from Saraland, and his game is built on separation, versatility, and a feisty competitive edge rather than pure size. At 5-foot-11, he looks like a good fit if a team wants an immediate, high-motor slot weapon with upside.
