ATLANTA — The media has yet to see Carlton Davis in Atlanta.

Auburn’s junior cornerback was again absent from a Peach Bowl practice session at Georgia Tech on Saturday afternoon. The three-year starter is out with what Auburn officials are calling “an illness” and his starting spots have been taken over by Javaris Davis (who was in an orange non-contact jersey) and Jamel Dean.

Davis has been absent from both open media windows this week as No. 8 Auburn (10-3) prepares from its Peach Bowl matchup against No. 10 Central Florida (12-0) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Monday (11:30 a.m., ESPN).

Carlton Davis suffered a concussion in the loss to Georgia in the Southeastern Conference Championship Game this month. The 6-foot-1, 203-pound defensive back is a projected pick in the first two rounds of the 2018 NFL draft after accumulating 32 starts in 38 career games. Davis was a first-team All-America selection by Sports Illustrated and has 33 pass deflections and four interceptions in his college career.

Johnson participated in hands team kickoff drill: Kerryon Johnson attempted to prove his “100 percent” comment Saturday. The junior tailback, who has been slowed due to shoulder and abdomen injuries, made a leaping grab on an onside kick to show his normal athleticism.

Johnson is expected to play and likely start in the Peach Bowl after being contained to just 44 yards on 13 carries in the SEC Championship Game.

“I've been running like my old self and making moves like my old self,” Johnson said Saturday morning. “It's giving me confidence and making me happy, and I'm ready to see what I can do in the real game now.”

Golson’s engagement photographer was Auburn softball player Courtney Shea: Senior offensive lineman Austin Golson, a Prattville native who will have an entire week dedicated to him in Montgomery next month, had a very handy last-minute photographer to document his recent engagement.

Golson, who proposed to his girlfriend Alexandria Elizabeth Ray during the Christmas break, told teammate Braden Smith about when he was going to pop the question. Smith’s girlfriend, softball player Courtney Shea, was more than interested to be a part of the festivities.

“It was more than handy to have a teammate who knew somebody that could take pictures and she’s always been really talented at that,” Golson said.

Golson is expected to start Monday at left tackle in the final game of his college career.

Shea, who is a senior on the softball team and whose father played on the Auburn football team from 1988-91, volunteered her services to be the engagement photographer and possibly a wedding photographer for the upcoming nuptials.

“She’s always been really a good photographer so when I told her that Austin was going to propose, her first question was if they had somebody to photograph it,” Smith said Saturday.
