Overview
- Auburn’s head coach said the roster has “a little bit of room” for May graduates, junior-college prospects, or late qualifiers, though portal work is mostly done.
- Auburn has signed 39 transfers, a haul ranked No. 13 nationally and sixth in the SEC by 247Sports, following 35 player departures from the 2025 roster.
- Golesh praised the additions of quarterback Byrum Brown and center Cole Best as “monumental” and “absolutely priceless” for accelerating offensive installation.
- The transfer-portal entry window closed Jan. 16, but players already in the portal can still sign, and an expanded 105-player roster limit offers flexibility.
- Depth along the lines remains under evaluation, with defensive tackle Dallas Walker IV receiving a waiver for an extra year as Auburn continues to monitor needs.
