Head coach Gus Malzahn has unveiled the long-awaited 2017 edition of the Auburn football depth chart.
Notable changes from last year's lineup include depth across the board, namely at the quarterback position. Sophomore standout Jarrett Stidham leads the charge, backed by veteran Sean White.
Malzahn's No. 3 tailback debacle remains unsolved on paper, with the chart only going two-deep at every position.
Auburn opens the season at home this Saturday against Georgia Southern. Kick-off is set for 6:30 CST inside Jordan-Hare Stadium.
