New Auburn wide receiver coach isn't exactly a new face around Auburn, but he faces a challenge he knows all too well.
AUBURN, AL - April 08, 2023 - Auburn Wide Receivers Coach Marcus Davis during the 2023 A-Day Spring Game at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, AL. Photo By Austin PerrymanMarcus Davis understands this all too well. It’s Auburn’s now decades-long challenge: How can it get a 1,000-yard wide receiver?
In a slew of hires to reshape a coaching staff, head coach Hugh Freeze brought Davis back to Auburn. To the place he’d played for four years and served as a team captain. To the place where he’d won the SEC and played against Florida State in the BCS National Championship game. And to the place where he’d had his first coaching job, working for two years as an analyst for then-head coach Gus Malzahn.
His quick rise to an SEC job now links him with Freeze, who has produced three 1,000-yard receivers since becoming a Division I head coach and a number that have come incredibly close including 993 yards from Demario Douglas at Liberty last season.“It’s been more than what I expected,” Davis said. “Auburn is Auburn. It’s a great place to be, and I wouldn’t rather be anywhere else.”
