Auburn Tigers News: Wide Receiver Among Top-Rated Transfers in College Football, Auburn Faces Fifth-Toughest Schedule
In today’s edition of Auburn Tigers News, an Auburn wide receiver ranks among college football’s top transfer commits, and the Tigers will face the fifth-toughest schedule this fall.
The Auburn football team secured a solid group of transfers during the offseason, addressing several positions that needed additional talent, particularly along the offensive line and in the wide receiver room.
247 Sports’ Cody Nagel released his analysis of the top 15 transfer portal commits, excluding transfers still in the portal. The Tigers picked up one of college football’s top transfers during the spring window in former Penn State wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith, who was ranked No. 7.
“The 6-foot-1, 188-pound receiver had his most productive season with the Nittany Lions in 2023, hauling in a team-high 53 receptions for 673 yards and four touchdowns,” wrote Nagel. “He racked up more than 1,700 yards in 48 games played at Penn State.”
Alabama, Florida, and Miami picked up the most transfers included on Nagel’s list.
