On Wednesday night, the Auburn Tigers picked up a big commitment in the transfer portal, as wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith announced that he would be committing to the SEC program.
Coming from Penn State, Lambert-Smith has seen action each of the last four seasons with the Nittany Lions, amassing a combined 1,721 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns on 126 receptions. Lambert-Smith, who ranks as the No. 13 wide receiver in the transfer portal according to 247Sports, also led Penn State in receiving a year ago by posting 673 yards and four touchdowns on 53 receptions.
Simply put, Auburn’s addition of Lambert-Smith continues what has been an impactful offseason for the Tigers wide receiver room, which has continued to add across the last couple of months.
In Auburn’s 2024 class, the Tigers have four true freshman wide receivers set to take the field this fall in Cam Coleman, Bryce Cain, Perry Thompson, and Malcolm Simmons, the first of which is rated as a five-star.

Auburn has also been active in the transfer portal as well, landing the likes of Georgia State wideout Robert Lewis, as well as California’s Sam Jackson V, alongside the aforementioned Lambert-Smith. This combines with some of their pass catchers from last season such as Rivaldo Fairweather and Caleb Burton III.
So, Auburn has not had a 500-yard receiver since the 2021 season. Will that change in 2024 with this talented group of wide receivers?
