Although Auburn has largely concluded its spring transfer portal activity, Hugh Freeze has expressed willingness to consider further additions, particularly in the defensive back position.
In a notable development, former Arkansas State and Northwestern State safety, Antwon Fegans Jr., declared his commitment to Auburn via social media on Wednesday evening, presenting a promising prospect for the team.

Originating from Oxford, Alabama, Fegans Jr. holds a 3-star rating and garnered interest from prominent programs such as UAB, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Mississippi State. Despite initial stints at Arkansas State and Northwestern State, where he played a limited number of games, Fegans Jr. brings valuable experience to the Tigers’ roster.
Having appeared in six games over the 2022 and 2023 seasons, Fegans Jr. will join Auburn with three years of eligibility remaining, potentially enhancing the team’s defensive depth.
Moreover, his commitment establishes a familial connection between Auburn and his younger brother, Anquon Fegans, a highly touted 4-star safety prospect in the 2025 class, who remains a key target for the Tigers.
