If the transfer portal had physical constraints, it surely would’ve needed to upsize after this week.

According to On3 Sports, as of Thursday afternoon, 1,426 FBS football players had entered the transfer portal, which opened on Dec. 4 and will remain that way for 30 days, closing on Jan. 2.

Needless to say, college football coaches have been left with a lot to sift through as they look to add to their 85-man rosters.

Last season, Auburn first-year head coach Hugh Freeze went to the portal and plucked out more than 20 players to add to the Tigers’ depleted roster. And while Freeze won’t need to do quite the overhaul he did last offseason this offseason, he and Auburn’s coaching staff have still been doing their fair share of poking around in the portal.

As of Thursday night, more than 20 transfers reported having received an offer from Auburn.

Before we take a look at them, however, here’s a quick preface: The following offers are only what have been made public via players’ social media. Not every player in the portal announces their offers — this is especially true of some of the bigger names in the portal. That said, this is not an exhaustive list.

Wide receivers

Freeze hasn’t been shy about Auburn’s need for pass catchers. When asked in October what he was planning to prioritize when it came to recruiting, Freeze was quick to respond.

“We’ve gotta get some guys in the receiver room – some depth there that can separate and win some 1-on-1s,” Freeze said on Oct. 2.

And Auburn’s emphasis on loading up the wide receiver room has been evident on the high school recruiting trail as Freeze has landed the commitments of a pair of 5-star wide receivers in Cam Coleman and Perry Thompson.

But Freeze isn’t stopping there.

Since the transfer portal opened Monday, Auburn has reportedly extended offers to at least six wide receivers. Here’s a look at them, their stats from 2023 and whether or not they’ve reportedly scheduled a visit to Auburn.

Jared Brown, redshirt sophomore, Coastal Carolina: 6-foot, 190 pounds, 58 receptions, 740 yards, four touchdowns in 2023; plans to visit Auburn

Deion Burks, redshirt sophomore, Purdue: 5-foot-11, 195 pounds, 47 receptions, 629 yards, seven touchdowns in 2023

Caullin Lacy, junior, South Alabama: 5-foot-10, 190 pounds, 91 receptions, 1,316 yards, seven touchdowns in 2023

Robert Lewis, redshirt junior, Georgia State: 5-foot-11, 185 pounds, 70 receptions, 877 yards, seven touchdowns in 2023; plans to visit Auburn on Dec. 8-10

Will Sheppard, senior, Vanderbilt: 6-foot-3, 198 pounds, 47 receptions, 684 yards, eight touchdowns in 2023

Zavion Thomas, sophomore, Mississippi State: 5-foot-11, 190 pounds, 40 receptions, 503 yards, one touchdown in 2023

Offensive linemen

In the first days of this year’s portal madness, the offensive front is another area Freeze has hit hard.

With Gunner Britton, Avery Jones and Kam Stutts — three starting offensive linemen from 2023 — departing due to being out of eligibility, the Tigers will certainly need to add to their offensive line room.

And the portal is where they hope to do a lot of that.

As of Thursday evening, Auburn has reportedly extended offers to at least six transfer offensive linemen. Here’s a look at them and whether or not they’ve reported plans to visit Auburn.

Matthew Bedford, redshirt senior, Indiana: 6-foot-6, 305 pounds; visited Auburn Dec. 6

Fernando Carmona Jr., sophomore, San Jose State: 6-foot-5, 314 pounds

Alan Herron, sophomore, Shorter: 6-foot-6, 310 pounds

Easton Kilty, junior, North Dakota: 6-foot-5, 305 pounds

Makylan Pounders, redshirt sophomore, Memphis: 6-foot-5, 290 pounds

Gerquan Scott, redshirt junior, Southern Miss: 6-foot-4, 330 pounds; plans to visit Auburn Dec. 8-10

Defensive backs

Auburn is staring down a lot of turnover in the defensive backfield as DJ James, Nehemiah Pritchett and Jaylin Simpson are all turning their attention to the NFL after the 2023 season ends.

Fortunately for the Tigers, they’ve already got a nice foundation of defensive backs set to return to The Plains in 2024. The downside? Many of them are young and inexperienced. Of the 14 defensive backs set to return next fall, nine were sophomores or younger this season.

So Freeze has set out to the transfer portal to find more seasoned defensive backs.

As of Thursday evening, Auburn has reportedly offered at least five transfer defensive backs. Here’s a look at each of them.

Akili Arnold, junior, Oregon State: 5-foot-11, 200 pounds, 62 total tackles, two INTs, fumble recovery in 2023

Syeed Gibbs, freshman, Rhode Island: 6-foot, 180 pounds, 38 total tackles, three INTs in 2023

Will Lee III, sophomore, Kansas State: 6-foot-3, 185 pounds, 42 total tackles, two INTs, fumble recovery in 2023

Jermod McCoy, freshman, Oregon State: 6-foot, 180 pounds, 31 total tackles, two INTs, fumble recovery in 2023

Ethan Robinson, junior, Bucknell: 6-foot, 175 pounds, 50 total tackles, three INTs, fumble recovery in 2023

Defensive linemen

The defensive line is an area Freeze griped about not having enough depth a time or two.

Often, Freeze would mention that Marcus Harris, who has yet to announce if he will return for his final year of eligibility or turn pro, was having to play too many snaps in one game.

And while the Tigers are set to bring in a trio of defensive linemen in 4-star commit TJ Lindsey and 3-star commits Malik Blocton and Dimitry Nicolas, Auburn is looking to add more to its defensive front via the transfer portal.

As of Thursday evening, the Tigers had reportedly extended offers to at least three transfer defensive linemen. Here’s a look at each of them.

Nate Clifton, senior, Vanderbilt: 6-foot-5, 280 pounds, 30 total tackles, 7.5 TFLs, 5.5 sacks, one interceptions in 2023

Derrick Harmon, redshirt sophomore, Michigan State: 6-foot-5, 320 pounds, 40 total tackles, 3.5 TFLs, 1.5 sacks, forced fumble in 2023; plans to visit Auburn Dec. 8-10

Chris McClellan, sophomore, Florida: 6-foot-3, 320 pounds, 23 total tackles, 1 TFL

Linebackers

Auburn isn’t necessarily hurting at the linebacker spot.

So far, Larry Nixon III is the only confirmed outgoing linebacker, meaning — barring no changes — the Tigers could return veterans Cam Riley, Wesley Steiner, Eugene Asante and Austin Keys, along with three other linebackers.

Freeze also has a pair of notable high school linebacker commits coming in 4-stars Demarcus Riddick and D’Angelo Barber.

But sometimes, talent hits the portal and you’ve just gotta give it a shot.

As of Thursday night, Auburn had reportedly offered at least one transfer linebacker. Here’s a look.

Chris Paul Jr., sophomore, Arkansas: 6-foot-1, 233 pounds, 74 total tackles, 6.5 TFLs, two sacks in 2023
