Former Auburn defensive lineman TJ Lindsey entered the transfer portal earlier this month, and has already lined up some visits to programs up north. The former four-star prospect, who saw action in just one game last season, plans to visit Purdue and Nebraska once the calendar flips to 2025.
A native of Little Rock, Arkansas, Lindsey accumulated two tackles in his first and only season on the Plains. He saw action in the opening game of the season against Alabama A&M, but was relegated to a reserve role following the victory, allowing him to redshirt his first campaign of college football.
Despite showing plenty of prowess throughout his high school career and first year with Auburn, Lindsay’s path to significant snaps looked to be mostly blocked for the foreseeable future with a highly-touted defensive line class heading to Auburn next season. With players such as [autotag]Derek Smith[/autotag], [autotag]Antonio Coleman[/autotag], and [autotag]Malik Autry[/autotag], likely to earn a meaningful playing time next season, the decision for Lindsey to enter the portal made sense for both sides.
The 6-foot-3, 294-pound edge rusher is scheduled to visit Purdue on January 1, before moving along the north west to Nebraska on January 3. He also currently has offers from South Florida, Memphis, Arkansas State, and UTEP to consider before making a decision on where he will continue his football career.
