Auburn’s Secret Weapon: The Unbelievable Last-Minute Transfers Poised to Shake Up Spring Football
Hugh Freeze’s Auburn tenure hasn’t exactly been the stuff of legends so far—two seasons, a 6-7 debut, then a 5-7 stumble in 2024, missing out on any bowl bid. It’s the kind of start that’d make any coach glance nervously at the calendar. Heading into year three, the pressure’s mounting: can Freeze flip the script, or are the Tigers bound for another sluggish slog? Enter the transfer portal—the modern-day recruiting wild card. It’s like a last-minute yard sale full of seasoned players ready to make an impact fast. For a team desperate to find quick fixes, this portal isn’t just a tool; it’s the hopeful lifeline to transform Auburn’s fortunes before the 2025 season kicks off. But with 19 transfers in and 28 players out, the big question is—who’s left worth chasing in this twilight shopping spree?
LEARN MOREHugh Freeze has been the head coach of the Auburn football team for two years now, and he has not experienced a lot of success with the program. Auburn finished with a 6-7 record in Freeze’s first year, and last season was even worse. The Tigers finished 5-7 in 2024, and they failed to qualify for a bowl game. That isn’t going to get the job done. The 2025 season will be Freeze’s third season leading this program, and he needs to show that he can bring some success to Auburn. One thing that can help make that happen is the college football transfer portal.
