Auburn football: Could Oregon WR Mycah Pittman transfer to AU?

When Gus Malzahn was fired and Bryan Harsin took over the Auburn football program, everyone knew that the 2021 season would be part of a rebuilding year, but no one knew exactly what that was going to look like. The Tigers sent their best receivers off to the NFL and were lacking in O-Line personnel, and the coaching staff had their work cut out for them.

Auburn football’s wide receivers room has been full of question marks all year. Who would rise up as the Tigers’ new go-to receiver? How would such a young, inexperienced group fare with a non-SEC, first-year coach? After the first four games, Harsin brought in a new wide receivers coach, but there are still improvements to be made.

Bo Nix has thrown to nearly all of the receivers at one time or another this year but the season has been plagued by drops and missed connections. Auburn football is still looking for a star receiver, and they might just find one in the latest addition to the transfer portal.

Oregon wide receiver Mycah Pittman has officially parted ways with the Ducks, and he could put his talents to use instantly on the Plains. The sophomore WR started the first six games for the Ducks this season and has 12 receptions for 197 yards. Though he has 38 career catches, he hasn’t scored a touchdown since 2019.

As far as Auburn fans are concerned, Pittman would be a valuable addition to the Tigers’ roster:

It’s too soon to say whether or not Coach Harsin and wide receivers coach Eric Kiesau are going after the transfer, but the powerhouse WR could add a lot to the Auburn roster.
