Auburn Adds CB, Edge, DL and TE as Golesh’s Transfer Overhaul Intensifies

Golesh is prioritizing offensive and defensive linemen ahead of the Jan. 16 portal deadline.

Overview

  • UCLA cornerback Andre Jordan Jr. signed Saturday after leading the Big Ten with 10 pass breakups in 2025, becoming Auburn’s first transfer corner this window.
  • Former Missouri edge rusher Nate Johnson committed Saturday, bringing prior All–Sun Belt production from his Appalachian State stint to fill a need on the edge.
  • Appalachian State defensive lineman Saint Farrior also committed Saturday, joining Arkansas State’s Cody Sigler as Auburn works to rebuild its interior defensive front.
  • North Carolina tight end Jake Johnson signed Saturday, adding an experienced pass-catching option to a reworked skill group.
  • Friday’s additions included USF’s leading receiver Keshaun Singleton and James Madison tackle Joseph Simmons, as Golesh—who says the class is about halfway done—continues to target multiple linemen after heavy roster losses; outgoing receiver Eric Singleton Jr. signed with Florida.
