BREAKING: A.D. Diamond enters the transfer portal

Ten of Auburn’s 18 2021 recruits are no longer on the team’s roster.

Auburn’s mass exodus continues.

After wide receiver Tar’Varish Dawson entered the portal earlier today, Auburn freshmen cornerback [autotag]A.D. Diamond[/autotag] declared his own intentions to transfer late Wednesday evening. With Diamond’s transfer, 10 of Auburn’s 18 recruits from the 2021 recruiting class are now off the roster.

Like the other three players, Diamond hasn’t gotten play time — which is normal for most freshmen. Diamond hasn’t gotten any play time this year under head coach [autotag]Bryan Harsin[/autotag], so it appears that he will try to see the field more frequently at another school after he enters the portal.

Harsin’s recruiting problems only continue with these recent transfers. Of Auburn’s 23 blue chips from the 2020 and 2021 classes, just eight currently remain on the team’s roster. It might be a good idea to keep an eye on the team as the week continues, as there is a possibility more players from the team follow suit before the Tigers take on Arkansas this Saturday.
