Overview
- Blocton announced via social media that he will enter the NCAA transfer portal when the window opens Jan. 2.
- He becomes the 16th Auburn player to signal a transfer this offseason and the second defensive lineman, joining Antonio Coleman.
- A two-year contributor, Blocton played all 12 games with eight starts in 2025, posting 18 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and 0.5 sacks.
- With Bobby Jamison-Travis, Dallas Walker IV, Jay Hardy and Zykeivous Walker out of eligibility, Auburn’s interior depth now leans on Malik Autry, Jourdin Crawford and incoming freshmen Tavian Branch and Corey Wells.
- Despite ranking 12th nationally in rushing yards allowed this season, Auburn faces a near-total reset up front as the portal window runs Jan. 2–16 and Blocton carries two seasons of eligibility.
