Auburn football transfer portal: Tigers offer UAlbany EDGE Jared Verse
Auburn football got in on the hot transfer portal market for FCS transfer Jared Verse of UAlbany football.
The line for the services of the CAA all-conference EDGE is a long one. Per Pig Tail Nation, the list includes Missouri, Tennessee, Syracuse, Florida State, Iowa, Connecticut, Nebraska, West Virginia, Bowling Green, Houston, Utah, San Diego State, Purdue, Kent State, Colorado, James Madison, Utah State, Buffalo, Kansas, and Western Kentucky.
That’s a list that spans several different levels of college football. From the current FCS juggernaut James Madison, set to join the Sun Belt in 2022, to a number of SEC teams that includes Mizzou, Tennessee, and now Auburn football, Verse is a wanted man.
Verse felt the love from Tiger fans for his offer announcement:

UAlbany had a rough 2021 fall season, highlighted by several multi-touchdown losses to relative Goliath’s to their David. North Dakota State took down the Great Danes during the fall opener 28-6, while Syracuse put 62 on them at the Carrier Dome.
Their 2021 spring season barely got off the ground, with their final two games of a six game schedule being canceled. They were able to beat New Hampshire twice in 2021 though, marking three straight victories.
Without indulging too much further into CAA football trends, Fly War Eagle could tell you first-hand that Verse could cause havoc and bring big-play ability to the Tigers after leading the conference in tackles for loss.
The Bloomsburg, PA product would be more than welcomed on the Plains after several years in New York’s Capital Region.
