All eyes will be on the nation’s most heralded transfer when the Auburn Tigers open spring practice today. Former Baylor QB Jarrett Stidham steps in to give a new-look offense perhaps a new face to be its leader.

Head coach Gus Malzahn will put the Tigers through 15 practice days culmination in the annual A-Day spring game set for 2 p.m. ET Saturday, April 8.

Stidham’s presence is just one of many storylines surrounding the Tigers’ camp this spring. Here’s a look at seven things to watch for as Auburn opens spring workouts.

1. Stidham and the QB race: The Tigers lured the prized transfer and by all accounts he is the real deal. He threw for 1,265 yards and 12 touchdowns in his freshman year and looks to be the Tigers’ starting signal-caller in 2017, especially given the health of last year’s starter, Sean White. With a new offensive coordinator, it should be interesting to see how well — and how quickly  — Stidham fits into the system.

2. New OC Chip Lindsey: Coming in to balance an offense that was run-heavy (SEC-most 49.6 rushes per game), Lindsey could be stepping into a perfect situation with a talent like Stidham seemingly taking the controls. Malzahn is giving Lindsey the keys to an offense that appears to be loaded for a big season in 2017. How he is able to use the plethora of talent will be interesting to see. The long-time Alabama high school coach was the offensive coordinator at Southern Miss and Arizona State before coming to Auburn.

3. What’s to become of Sean White? The starting job is not a foregone conclusion for Stidham, but just how much competition White can provide during the spring remains to be seen. The junior threw for 1,679 yards and nine touchdowns last season, but fractured his forearm in the Sugar Bowl loss to Oklahoma. His availability for spring practice is still unknown.

4. Kerryon Johnson or Kamryn Pettway? Who will be Auburn’s top back in 2017? Will it be Pettway, who came off the bench to lead the SEC in average yards per game with 122.40? Or will it be Johnson, who missed a 1,000-yard season by only 105 yards. The two combined to lead Auburn to an SEC-best 271.31 rushing yards per game. Pettway carried 209 times, which was just 27 more than Johnson’s total. It will be interesting to see how Lindsey uses two of the top returning backs in the SEC.

5. How much will Auburn’s defense drop without Carl Lawson and Montravius Adams? Auburn’s leaders in sacks last season will be sorely missed. If DC Kevin Steele can’t find a way to make up for the big losses, the Tigers will need to score in bunches to keep up with the opposition. Auburn’s linebackers, expected to be a strength, will have to perform.

6. Can the O-line be as good as last year’s? Auburn led the SEC in rushing last season with a pair of solid running backs and a line that did its job. Pro Football Focus ranked the line as one of the nation’s best. But there are some holes to fill. Graduate transfer Casey Dunn could provide some help. The two-time FCS All-American at Jacksonville State is expected to plug into a line that could very well be as good as last year’s.

7. How good can K Daniel Carlson get? The Tigers have one of the best kickers in the SEC. Only Ole Miss’ Gary Wunderlich was more accurate. Carlson hit 28-of-32 field goal attempts last season; that coming after an SEC-best 23-for-27 sophomore season. What will he do for an encore in his senior season?
