Auburn WR Perry Thompson Says He Will Enter the Transfer Portal
The former top-100 recruit moves on after two modest seasons that underscored a constrained role in Auburn's offense.
Overview
- Thompson announced on X on Dec. 5 that he intends to enter the transfer portal after two seasons at Auburn.
- His planned departure is the first publicly stated move off new coach Alex Golesh’s initial roster.
- Part of the 2024 “Freeze Four,” he totaled 22 catches for 280 yards and one touchdown across two years, including 17 receptions for 154 yards in 2025.
- Pro Football Focus logged 273 passing snaps for Thompson over two seasons, compared with 781 for fellow receiver Cam Coleman.
- The NCAA winter portal window runs Jan. 2–16, and reports suggest three Auburn defenders may also pursue transfers, though they have not announced plans.
