Auburn football recruiting: 3 recent transfer portal entries for Tigers to pursue

Auburn football transfer portal target No. 3: S Ahman Ross

Last but not least we have a defender in the secondary who made a sizable impact so far in his last stop. Florida Atlantic’s Ahman Ross would be a quality depth piece to add to a secondary that just lost Smoke Monday to the NFL, and Ladarrius Tennison and Trey Elston to the transfer portal.

When it comes to bringing on a talent like Ross, it’s not so much about the urgent need at the position like there is at WR. Instead, it’s about fortifying the team’s depth. Freshman Caleb Wooden could be a breakout star, while Zion Puckett and Cayden Bridges will be asked to shoulder the biggest burdens out of the gate. An injury to any of those three defensive backs would spell trouble, so Ross would be a stellar insurance policy and chaos-causer on kickoffs.
