Auburn will "probably" turn to freshman Ike Powell at long snapper this week against Texas A&M, coach Gus Malzahn said Wednesday.
Senior Forrest Hill suffered an undisclosed injury late in Auburn's 35-31 victory at Ole Miss on Saturday. Powell was called upon to deliver a snap on the final punt against the Rebels.
"Ike Powell will probably end up doing a lot of that duty," Malzahn said. "He is a possibility, but we have a lot of confidence in Ike. He did a super job to finish that game."
Hill has served as Auburn's long snapper since the 2012 season, providing the Tigers a reliable option for their punters. Rarely recognized unless something goes wrong, long snappers are an important cog on special teams.
Powell, a true freshman, was offered a preferred walk-on spot on Auburn's roster as a late addition to the Tigers' recruiting class Feb. 5.
He has received all of Auburn's snaps with the backups this season.
"We've really been challenging our players that, hey, you never know when you'll be called upon," Malzahn said. "He's a great example. When the pressure was the highest, he went in there and performed like a champ. He really helped our team."
