It might be a different practice field in a different uniform in a different state, but for Keshaun Singleton, spring practice feels extremely familiar at Auburn.
The wide receiver is one of the many players who transferred from USF to the Plains this offseason, joining their head coach, Alex Golesh, who was hired to take over the Tigers’ program in December. Everywhere you look on the practice field, especially on offense, you see former Bulls who will now ply their trade in the orange and blue of Auburn.
Because of that, the transition has been flawless for Singleton.

I would say it's pretty amazing because I already know that Byrum (Brown) and (Jeremiah) Koger and all the guys that came with us, I trust them with everything in me,” he said. “So, I don't got to worry about anybody messing up or dropping balls right there. I trust everybody to do their job and be where they got to be.”
The influx of talent from Tampa has helped Golesh and his coaching staff replenish what the Tigers were missing after a mass exodus via the transfer portal this offseason, especially at the quarterback and wide receiver positions, where Brown comes in as a bona fide starter from the first day, while Singleton, Koger, Chas Nimrod, Christian Neptune and Kory Pettigrew fill in the slots left by Cam Coleman, Malcolm Simmons, Eric Singleton and many others.
Singleton is the best of them all, catching 50 passes for 877 yards and eight touchdowns for the Bulls last season, and with his familiarity with Brown, should be able to produce big numbers as they transition to the SEC.
But Singleton didn’t want to just discuss himself. Nimrod, who has been turning heads already this spring, is one to watch out for this season after an injury-riddled 2025 season.
“Chaz, bro, he brings speed, energy, everything you need,” Singleton said. “He got good hands, quick on his feet, and he's very smart. So if you need him at the slot, he'll go to the slot. If you need him at the outside, he’ll go to the outside; if you need him in the backfield, he’ll go get back there.”
