Auburn added former Southern Mississippi quarterback Cole Weeks as a graduate assistant for the offense, first reported on Tuesday afternoon.
Weeks worked under Tigers offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey in 2014, starting in two games and passing for 761 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Lindsey guided the Golden Eagles offense to an average of 40 points per game in 2015 as offensive coordinator, including a mark of 50 points per game in nine wins. Lindsey then landed the same position with the Arizona State Sun Devils the next season, followed by his recent return to the Plains.
Weeks will replace Austin Tucker, who recently accepted an offer for a graduate assistant role with the Memphis Tigers. Gus Malzahn is expected to announce other alterations to the Tigers staff on Tuesday ahead of Auburn’s first practice of the spring.
