Auburn football is determined to improve upon their 6-7 record in 2023 through strategic moves during the transfer portal. Head coach Hugh Freeze and his staff have identified key areas of improvement, specifically in the wide receivers and defensive line positions. They made several successful acquisitions this spring to address these needs, setting them up for success in the upcoming season.
Auburn’s success in the transfer portal has earned them accolades from College Sports Wire, with their haul being ranked as the third-best in the SEC. This solidifies Auburn’s position ahead of teams like Ole Miss and Vanderbilt, although they still trail behind powerhouses like Alabama and Florida. One of the standout additions to the team is former Penn State receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith, who brings a wealth of experience and talent to the Tigers.
Lambert-Smith is expected to make a significant impact as Auburn’s potential WR1 this season, boasting impressive stats from his time at Penn State. In addition to bolstering their receiving corps, the Tigers also added valuable talent to their defensive line with the acquisition of three key players who are poised to contribute in 2024.
Overall, Auburn’s 2024 transfer portal class has been ranked at No. 27 in the 247Sports transfer portal rankings, showcasing the team’s commitment to strengthening their roster alongside Lambert-Smith, Philip Blidi (Indiana), Jerrin Thomas (Texas), and Robert Lewis (Georgia State).
