Auburn center Connor Lew tears ACL, misses rest of 2025 season; Kail Ellis to start.

Auburn starting center Connor Lew will miss the rest of the 2025 season after tearing his ACL during a 23-17 double-overtime loss to Missouri. The junior, a top NFL Draft prospect, had started 24 games and was a key leader on the offensive line. He was injured when rolled up by a teammate. True freshman Kail Ellis will replace him and start for the remainder of the season. Auburn, now 3-4 and winless in SEC play, prepares to face Arkansas.
