Atlanta Journal-Constitution Auburn, Alabama and Ole Miss are among his top seven schools . . . "My scholarship will be track, but I really want to play football also and the coaches know that," Glover said before leaving for Auburn . . . One of the biggest spring surprises may have been Kris Frost taking the first-team spot from Jake Holland, who started the past two seasons . . . He spent most of the spring working in the slot and on special teams . . . Ole Miss, Auburn, Georgia and Kentucky were also in the top 25 . . . Whitehead will unquestionably be a starter come the fall but he'll have work to do as well . . . His quickness makes him a good fit for the field corner role where he has to cover more ground . . . Casher's persistence on the field and in the weight room have paid off, earning him a scholarship offer to Auburn . . . The junior did not emerge as a go-to threat in his first two seasons, but the Hoover native drew rave reviews in the spring for his consistency -- and for his ability to move around on the field . . . Malzahn was in Daphne recently for a Tiger Trek appearance, and the new Auburn head coach brought with him a new theme for the Auburn program . . . Now, Ford will play exclusively on the left . . . Jay Prosch will help clear holes for running backs; Fulse could help keep those gaps open in the second level . . . Dee Ford, Gabe Wright, Jeff Whitaker, Ken Carter and Nosa Eguae were among the Auburn players who went to Atlanta to work with Smith and improve on their pass rush techniques . . . Auburn defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson believes the Tigers have plenty of depth up front . . . "Quan is one of those real versatile guys. To take you back a couple years ago, he was actually playing the tailback positions . . . Former Auburn athletes Ronnie Baynes, Forrest Blue and Vickie Orr, along with former coach Bill Oliver, were among eight individuals that were part of the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2013 that was inducted Saturday . . . Perhaps no player benefited more than Dismukes from the fresh start offered by a new coaching staff . . . Whitehead, who's listed at 5-11, 198 pounds, doesn't have the prototypical size that Ellis Johnson wants out of his 4-2-5 defense, but he is the clear front-runner to start at the field, or free, safety position after impressing the coaches during the spring . . . Barnhart suggests if you are looking for someone to cheer for this season, cheer for Auburn's Jay Prosch . . . A number of college programs are excited about a potential future with Doss . . . Until one of those players wins the starting job, Malzahn will wait to adjust his offense . . . This time around, Malzahn won't have the luxury of Cam Newton running the Tigers offense. That being said, Auburn should improve significantly . . . I have said it before, but I think it is worth repeating that there are football players at Auburn who not been major contributors previously who are going to have a chance to step up and be good college players this fall, and in the seasons to come . . .
