Tyrell Jones didn’t make an appearance in Auburn’s 67-53 victory over Appalachian State on Tuesday. We might now know the reason.
On Tuesday night, Matt Zenitz reported that Jones, a sophomore guard, has entered the NCAA transfer portal.

With Sharife Cooper out, Jones began the season as the starting point guard for the Tigers but was quickly replaced by true freshman Justin Powell.
This might be a sign that Cooper, who has been held out due to eligibility concerns, could be on his way back. The 5-star point guard returned to practice this past week for the first time in more than a month.
