Auburn’s Under-the-Radar Linebacker With Real SEC Pop
If you meant Auburn linebacker Demarcus Riddick, his 2025 season showed a disruptive, downhill defender who played in 10 games with four starts, posted 13 tackles, a sack, and two pass breakups, and missed the final two games with an injury. He flashed more as a true impact piece as a freshman in 2024 with 27 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, and 3.0 sacks, and Auburn’s own profile calls him a sideline-to-sideline defender. He fits teams needing speed, effort, and playmaking rather than pure size.
