Auburn Adds Troy RB Tae Meadows as 37th Transfer
The pickup reflects Alex Golesh’s push for a deep, veteran backfield built through the transfer portal.
Overview
- Meadows signed with Auburn on Thursday, per 247Sports, with AL.com confirming he is the program’s 37th incoming transfer this offseason.
- He led Troy in 2025 with 695 rushing yards and six touchdowns at 4.4 yards per carry after limited action in 2023 and 2024.
- The addition joins returner Jeremiah Cobb plus transfers Bryson Washington and Nykahi Davenport, giving Auburn four backs who topped 600 rushing yards last season.
- Head coach Alex Golesh and offensive coordinator Joel Gordon favor rotating multiple backs, making depth a priority in their up-tempo system.
- Because players already in the portal can sign after the entry deadline, Auburn continues to finalize roster moves as it overhauls personnel under the new staff.
