Questionable against Arkansas McPherson (illness) is lsited as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against Arkansas, per Auburn's official team injury report.

Impact McPherson has yet to play a game for the Tigers this season after logging a perfect season in 2023 with an unspecified illness. The sophomore kicker was said to be feeling better, and the questionable status is an encouraging sign after McPherson was held out of each of the team's first three games. Should he continue to be held out, Towns McGough will likely continue to handle the placekicking responsibilities in his absence.
