We wish Jay the best as he makes this move."Prosch will likely keep his role as a lead blocker once he is in Auburn's offense,euro shirts, though he could be used as a short-yardage receiving threat as well.Prosch's role could even be similar to tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen, who was a very reliable red zone threat for the Tigers in 2011, recording a team-high seven touchdown catches.
