CameronCrazy 376 Report post Posted July 12, 2018 Who you got? These are the best two Auburn centers I have seen in my lifetime. Is there anymore that need to be added to the debate of best Auburn center? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Plainsman 763 Report post Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) Ben Tamburello. Nuff said. Tamburello was recruited by Paul "Bear" Bryant to play college football for Alabama, but decided to play for Auburn. He played for the Tigers from 1983–1986. In 1986, he was named a unanimous All-American. He won the SEC Lineman of the Year award in 1986 and was named a team captain.[1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Tamburello Edited July 12, 2018 by The Plainsman 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoALtiger 1,135 Report post Posted July 12, 2018 For me and my time as an AU fan, I’d also go with Tamburello. He was a rock star at the position. As for the op question, I got Pugh. Reese has the accolades for sure but my gut says Pugh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

autan 131 Report post Posted July 14, 2018 Some of you are forgetting Tom Banks. All-Pro for many years. Snapped for our first Heisman winner. I guess most of you are probably just too young. But he has to be No.1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember hearing Reese caught wind that Foster was planning on bailing on the recruiting weekend and taking some others with him to Tuscaloosa, and Dismukes called him out on it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
