In the transfer portal era, college football rosters are never set, but with the passing of national signing day, Auburn’s roster should not be going through any more massive change soon. But then again with the uncertainty around the head coach, never say never.
Auburn whiffed on their remaining targets on sighing day and with Ja’varrius Johnson entering the portal, left the day with fewer players than it started with. The Tigers finished with the No. 18 recruiting class according to the 247Sports class ranking. Auburn added 23 players to the roster, 18 high school signees, and five transfers.
The group is led by four-star linebacker Robert Woodyard who is ranked as the No. 13 linebacker and No. 141 overall player in the country. The class also features three top 10 JUCO players, No. 1 player Jeffrey M’ba, No. 1 cornerback Keionte Scott, and No. 1 safety Marquise Gilbert.
Of the transfers, most notable is the addition of not one, but two quarterbacks. Auburn added former Texas A&M starter Zach Calzada and former Oregon Duck Robby Ashford.
With the additions and subtractions let’s grade every position group ahead of the 2022 season, this grade will focus more on the coming season than long-term projection.
