Kenneth McManus IV brings SEC-ready size and starting experience to Auburn’s interior
McManus is a big-bodied interior lineman at 6-2, 315-320 pounds who already logged meaningful FBS reps in 2025, starting six games at left guard for Akron and allowing just one sack across roughly 271-286 pass-blocking snaps. His value is less about flash than reliability: he’s young, assignment-sound, and already battle-tested against college competition, which is why Auburn added him to deepen a rebuilt offensive line. The fit looks strong if Auburn wants a sturdy, developmental guard who can compete early and keep the pocket cleaner.
