Another Auburn player has entered the transfer portal on a Monday that has featured a mass exodus of players from programs around the nation.
This time, it’s Auburn guard [autotag]Keiondre Jones[/autotag], who has officially entered the portal after announcing his intentions to do so in the last week. Despite this, though, it isn’t quite guaranteed that he will leave — Jones said that he still may end up at Auburn if the coaching staff and their interest in him is to his liking.
Jones has been a mainstay on Auburn’s roster. He came to the program in 2019 as a true freshman and thus didn’t see playing time, but made his debut on the offensive line in 2020 after lineman Brandon Council got injured. Jones would go on to start every game in 2021, but he once again found himself on the bench during the 2022 season as guard Kameron Stutts often took reps in his stead.
Should Jones stick around, he would be coached by new offensive line coach Jake Thronton, who was on new head coach [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag]’s staff at Ole Miss.

Hugh Freeze is bringing over Jake Thornton from Ole Miss as Auburn's new OL coach.
