Moving Day: Tigers add 13

Auburn | Hugh Freeze doesn’t hesitate when it comes to upgrading Auburn’s menu.

Just six weeks after being hired, Freese welcomed 13 new players at the start of the spring semester.

The group includes four transfers in offensive tackle Gunner Britton from Western Kentucky, offensive tackle Dillon Wade from Tulsa, tight end Rivaldo Fairweather from FIU and outside linebacker Elijah McAllister from Vanderbilt.

With the additional additions of high school signing Elisabion Miller, Clay Weeden, Connor Liu and Braden Joyner, the Tigers’ offensive line receives immediate six-man assist.

Another key area where we needed passing was Auburn added three high school signings in Wilkie Denaud, Caldrick Faulk and Brenton Williams, the defensive line was bolstered by massive tackle Steven Johnson and the secondary got a big boost from respected cornerback Kayenne Lee. .

“Huge. I mean, huge,” said Freeze’s mid-year enrollment. “If a kid tells me he was in the middle of the year, he’s gone from two to three stars. You know what I mean? Because I’m going to rely on our coaching staff. If a kid has some ability, I think we’ll get the most out of him.”

“If he’s a three-star, he becomes a four-star. That was vital. When you look at our depth chart, it’s a little scary to me in places, that we need to get some help for the spring ball. “

Auburn should add more players in the coming days with the commitment of three more transfers over the past two days in Maryland defensive lineman Musiah Nasili Kite, Purdue linebacker Lawrence Johnson, LSU player Demario Tolan, and potentially a couple more.

Classes in Auburn Wednesday with January 18th being the last day to add classes. New entrants will be eligible to begin winter training soon and practice in the spring.
