It’s a new era on the Plains as Alex Golesh takes over as the 33rd head football coach in program history. With a new coach and the introduction of the transfer portal, turnover is bound to happen during the offseason.
Golesh and his staff have been working to find and retain players who want to help Auburn turn the program around, while others have already declared their intention to enter the transfer portal.
With the portal opening on January 2nd, here is a tracker of who is leaving Auburn and who the Tigers are signing. This will continually be updated as players continue to come and go for the Tigers.
Intends to enter the transfer portal
Horatio Fields (WR) - Senior
Field suffered a season-ending injury early in the season, only playing four games after transferring from Wake Forest before the season.
A-Mon Lane-Ganus (S) - Freshman
The freshman saw limited playing time.
Perry Thompson (WR) - Sophomore
Part of the Freeze Four, Thompson never could get things going in his direction during his two years at Auburn. This past season, he caught 17 passes for 154 yards and no touchdowns. If he can become the player everyone expected him to be out of high school, someone will get a dangerous threat.
Caleb Wheatland (S) - Senior
The senior played in just three games after transferring from Maryland.
Antonio Coleman (DL) - Freshman
Suspended “indefinitely” in August by then-head coach Hugh Freeze, Coleman, who flipped his commitment several times, spent the entire season on the scout team.
Damari Alston (RB) - Senior
After starting the season as the starting running back, Alston suffered an injury in the opener against Baylor and could never get back on track before finally deciding to sit out the rest of the season to preserve a redshirt.
