Former Auburn wide receiver target has entered the transfer portal

A potential target has entered his name into the transfer portal.

The transfer portal is the best solution for teams to rebuild their roster and fill holes for immediate success. On Monday, former Auburn Tigers wide receiver targets entered the transfer portal. Cody Jackson signed with Oklahoma in the 2021 class but a year later, he put his name in the transfer portal.

Jackson picked up an offer from Auburn on Apr. 25, 2019, but ultimately chose to sign with the Sooners in the early signing period in 2020. He was used minimally with Oklahoma last season as he was buried on the depth chart behind players such as Marvin Mims. Perhaps a change of scenery is just what Jackson needs and Auburn has a need.

Here’s the breakdown on Jackson per Sooners Wire:

Jackson, who caught just five passes for 45 yards in his freshman season enters the portal with three years of eligibility remaining. He was one of the earliest commitments to the Sooners’ 2021 recruiting class. He committed nearly 2 years before signing with the Sooners and remained steadfast to his commitment the whole process.

He was a four-star recruit out of Foster, Texas (the same high school where Sooners legend CeeDee Lamb came from) and only saw action in two games last year. He played in the Sooners’ wins in Norman against Western Carolina and Nebraska.

Given the questions at wide receiver, WR coach Ike Hilliard should at least check in on Jackson.
