Auburn moving Cowart to DT

[BMF]

After being a 5-star bust, Bryon Cowart is being moved to DT:

Former Auburn 5-star recruit changing positions this spring

Auburn DE Byron Cowart, a 5-star recruit from the class of 2015, has been underwhelming in his two years with the Tigers.

However, defensive coordinator Kevin Steele said on Thursday that Auburn isn’t giving up on Cowart just yet. Instead, the Tigers will try him on the interior of the defensive line this spring:

Steele: Byron Cowart concentrating on working at defensive tackle during spring

Steele says Byron Cowart has gotten a little bit thicker and they're going to get him reps at defensive tackle this spring.

Coming out of high school, Cowart was the No. 1 defensive end in the class of 2015 and the No. 3 overall recruit in the entire country, according to 247Sports.

As he prepares for his junior year, time is running out for him to make good on the potential he once showed when the Tigers recruited him.

With a need to replace DT Montravius Adams and DE Carl Lawson along the defensive line, Steele and the Auburn defense need more from Cowart in 2017.

He's about 280 pounds so it makes sense. But he has had some injuries and I think he was out due to an appendectomy last year.

He definitely had red flags with staying motivated coming out of high school. Same as Shavar Manuel.

He was counting on Muschump to hook him up.

Chump was a factor getting Cowart to Auburn and then he left after the first year. Everyone thought we missed the boat with him. Im almost glad he didnt pan out...

 

[GatorJ]

Law called it. Said that both he and Holland would be busts.

They're both well on their way.

But I thought Muschamp was such a great recruiter? Better than Mac, some would say.





Guess not

 

[rogdochar]

So is this considered a transfer?

Guess not

Well he did get him to go there over Mac so I'd venture to say he won this battle. If you land the hot chick, bang her, find out she sucks in bed and dump her for someone else while your buddy pined to hook up with her and never could your still winning

Another drama queen that flamed out. We are much better off without him.

I would add that his lack of success should be partially blamed on coaching. The physical was there, yes a kid needs to motivate himself, but it's also on the coaches to push that. He seemed to be in dawgchamp's dawghouse a lot, which lowered the flame.. but hey, fvk him anyway for not choosing the good guys

If Cowart had committed to the Gators we would have moved him to DT last year. He would have been way ahead of the curve. Somehow, I just don't feel like wishing him luck.

I'm gonna be honest. It doesn't make me sad. I know I need to grow up.

It wasnt rocket surgery.

Both tweeners, both one trick poneys (blitz). Either weak or disinterested vs the run. Chicks love sacks but its not the way you earn playing time in the SEC.

CeCe turned out to be the man despite the drama!

 

[Marianna-FL_Gator]

Cowart=BUST!!! Dude better stay & get his degree because he will be in the workforce in 3-4 yrs.

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

The true bust was the meltdown this board had when he signed with Auburn.

 

[Gator Fever]

Yep he never recovered from Muschamp chewing him out in practice. Mentally scarred him for life I guess.

 

[TN G8tr]

I wonder if he has figured out the midline yet?

 

[LagoonGator68]

Maybe his momma at least got a good job out of the move.

 

[Thick&ThinG8r]

I wish we were the team switching a 5 star, 3rd overall player to DT instead of a 3 star O lineman.
