Auburn needs some help at wide receiver and the Tigers are dipping into the transfer portal to try and address the need. Auburn’s latest offer is to [autotag]Zavion Thomas[/autotag], who spent the last two seasons at Mississippi State.
He caught 40 passes for 503 yards and one touchdown and also returned a kickoff for a touchdown last season. The Louisiana native finished the season with a receiving grade of 74.8 according to Pro Football Focus, the second highest of any Bulldog.
The 5-foot-11, 190-pounder has emerged as a popular name in the portal, picking up offers from Oregon, South Carolina, Arkansas and LSU in addition to Auburns.
The Tigers are looking for several wide receivers to help bridge the gap between the departing veterans and the talented freshman who will be signing with Auburn as members of the 2024 recruiting class.
After a great talk with @CoachDavisWR and @TrovonReed I have earned a scholarship offer from @AuburnFootball thank you 🔵🟠@4thQtMentality @EDGEASSASSINS @BE_LEGENDARY__ @Sheadixon @BillyEmbody @ScarboroughMike pic.twitter.com/3Sb1kmMpTg
