After Auburn’s win against Massachusetts on Saturday, Gunner Britton was named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week. Britton earned this award, which was announced Monday, after playing three positions against the Minutemen.
The 6-foot-6, 312-pound senior transfer from Western Kentucky played at left guard, right tackle and left tackle for the Tigers in Saturday’s game.
Britton led an Auburn offensive line that allowed just two quarterback hurries, while Britton himself allowed none. Britton is the first Auburn player to earn the SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week title since Nick Brahms in week nine of the 2020 season.
Britton’s addition to the team was just one of several changes to the new-look offensive line this offseason. Britton and the Tigers play at California on Saturday at 9:30 p.m. CST.
