The transfer portal officially opened on Monday, Dec. 5 and there are already over 1,000 players looking for a new home.
Auburn and [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] are expected to be heavily involved in the transfer market as he looks to revamp Auburn’s roster which needs an infusion of talent.
One of Auburn’s top needs is along the defensive line, where Auburn has a need along both the interior of the line and at the outside. One of the players who could play both of those positions is Western Michigan transfer [autotag]Andre Carter[/autotag] and Auburn offered him a scholarship Tuesday morning.
While he has primarily been used as a pass rusher, he is capable and willing to play along the interior of the defensive line when needed. He has been productive in each of his five seasons, but he broke out this season racking up 70 tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss, 7.0 sacks, two forced fumbles, and an interception.
He has made 135 tackles, 29.0 tackles for loss, 14.0 sacks, and six forced fumbles in his career.
Aubrun will to have to replace edge rushers Derick Hall, Eku Leota, Joko Willis, Marcus Bragg, and defensive linemen Colby Wooden, Marquis Burks, Morris Joseph Jr., and Zykeivous Walker.
While some of these players are in the portal and could very well return to the Plains, the Tigers need to add multiple players along both the interior of the line and along the outside.
