The SEC's leading tackler is coming back to the Plains. 

A day after Smoke Monday announced he was returning, Auburn received some more good news Thursday. On Thursday, linebacker Zakoby McClain announced that he was returning for his senior season.  

In 2020, the junior stepped up following the injury to fellow linebacker K.J. Britt and led both the Tigers and SEC with 113 total tackles.
