Auburn RB Omar Mabson aims for increased role during fall camp

Auburn running back Omar Mabson II is focused on securing more playing time this season as fall camp begins. Head coach Alex Golesh acknowledged Mabson's commitment to improvement, noting he is pushing his teammates for a backup role behind senior Jeremiah Cobb. Last season, Mabson recorded 16 carries for 71 yards and one touchdown. Bryson Washington, a junior transfer, was expected to compete for this position but showed some inconsistency in the spring. Auburn's running back group features several options, including senior Tae Medows and sophomores Alvin Henderson and Nykahi Davenport, suggesting a potential rotation of players throughout the season.
