Projected Auburn Football starting lineup & depth chart for 2022 season
Kicker
Starter: Anders Carlson
Backup: Ben Patton/Alex McPherson
One of the SEC’s most experienced kickers, Carlson returns for his sixth season at Auburn this fall having made 151-of-154 career extra points, as well as 67-of-93 field goals. The kicking depth for the Tigers could also be the deepest in the SEC as well, a group that includes the returning Patton who made five-of-six field goals a year ago, as well as McPherson, a true freshman who was one of the nation’s top kickers in the 2022 class.
Punter
Starter: Oscar Chapman
Backup: Marshall Meyers
Chapman could be one of the SEC’s top punters this season, coming off a 2021 season in which the junior averaged 44.1 yards per punt, along with 23 punts downed inside the 20-yard line.
Long Snapper
Starter: Jacob Quattlebaum
Backup: Reed Hughes
Quattlebaum, a senior, returns at long snapper after starting for the Tigers at the position a year ago.
