Overview

• Head coach Hugh Freeze announced Monday that senior running back Damari Alston is no longer with Auburn, citing a failure to meet program expectations.
• Alston began the season as a starter and team captain, opening with 84 yards on 16 carries against Baylor in Week 1.
• A shoulder injury kept Alston out of two games, and Jeremiah Cobb took over the bulk of carries once SEC play started.
• The move leaves Auburn short on depth at running back with Durell Robinson still recovering from a serious thigh injury.
• The healthy scholarship options are Cobb, true freshmen Omar Mabson and Alvin Henderson, and former walk-on Justin Jones.
