After entering the transfer portal back in April, linebacker [autotag]Powell Gordon[/autotag] has withdrawn from the portal and returned to Auburn, according to a [autotag]report from On3’s Justin Hokanson[/autotag].
Gordon is once again listed on Auburn’s online roster and is set to play his redshirt freshman season on the Plains. His return gives Auburn eight scholarship linebackers after the departure of DeMario Tolan earlier in the week.
Gordon did not see any game action last year as he redshirted. The Auburn, Alabama native was named to the SEC first-year academic honor roll.
The 6-foot-3, 220-pounder will add important depth at linebacker and could also see some time at the jack position.
