Gordon was a member of Auburn’s 2022 recruiting class and did not see the field in his only season on the Plains. The 6-foot-2, 222-pounder was set to be a reserve this season and it would have been tough for him to carve out a role for himself in a crowded linebacker room.
He is the fifth Auburn player to enter the portal during its spring window, with wide receiver [autotag]Tar’Varish Dawson[/autotag] and defensive end [autotag]Jeffrey M’Ba[/autotag] also announcing their intentions to leave the program.
