08/28/20 - OG Brandon Council, rSr/2023, Auburn

Council showed some of that potential as a true freshman in 2016, but Akron redshirted the former two-star prospect - as colleges often do with offensive linemen, which is often the most difficult position to evaluate from the high school to college level. "He continued to stay hungry," Ekkens said. "...He wanted to play that first year, but he trained hard, and after that, it was like as soon as he got in, as soon as he got an opportunity, we couldn't get him off the field. He was a guy that was going to play, and he just stay committed to it in the weight room, cleaned his body up from going from a guy that was at prep school, came into a weight program and quickly adapted, and then on the field, nothing was too big for him."

That was in the MAC, but after appearing in 25 games at Akron - with 24 consecutive starts in contests in which he was healthy - Council wanted to prove the same in the SEC. He entered the transfer portal in mid-February before announcing in April that he would be transferring to Auburn, where Gus Malzahn was looking to add a grad transfer in the trenches. "He just has a commitment to doing things the right way," Ekkens said. "He's worked really hard to get where he's at, and I'm definitely proud of him for working himself into this opportunity. He's a competitive guy, and he had his options of where he could go, and he wanted to go somewhere that he could compete at the highest level." He's getting his chance to do that at Auburn this fall. It's just a matter of whether he'll earn a spot in that starting five when the season opener rolls around in a month. - Birmingham News
