tough, veteran Auburn center whose body finally tapped out
Nick Brahms was a rugged, highly experienced Auburn interior lineman who earned SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week honors in 2020 and was widely viewed as a steady, physical anchor at center, with 33 career starts and strong assignment-sound play. His biggest differentiator wasn’t flash; it was toughness, leadership, and the kind of grit coaches love in the middle of an offensive line. The catch: recurring knee and shoulder issues ended his playing career in 2022, so he’s more of a respected former fit-and-finish presence than a current on-field option.
