Former Auburn DL Brenton Williams reveals transfer destination

Williams, who signed with Auburn as part of the 2023 class, has found a new home within the Group of Five.

Last year, Auburn hired former Liberty head coach Hugh Freeze to take over the football program. Now, Auburn is completing the metaphorical trade by sending a former player to Lynchburg.

[autotag]Brenton Williams[/autotag], who signed with Auburn as part of the 2023 recruiting cycle, announced Friday that he will be transferring to Liberty after spending just one season on the Plains. Williams entered the transfer portal once the spring window opened on April 15, becoming the first player to enter following the conclusion of spring practice.

Williams signed with Auburn as a three-star EDGE from nearby Opelika and was the No. 27 recruit from Alabama for the 2023 recruiting cycle. He chose Auburn over Georgia Tech, Penn State, and Michigan State after originally committing to Coastal Carolina.

Since Williams’ transfer portal entry, linebacker Wesley Steiner, cornerback JD Rhym, offensive tackle [autotag]Garner Langlo[/autotag], wide receiver Jay Fair and cornerback Colton Hood have joined this spring. Cornerback [autotag]Tyler Scott[/autotag] entered the transfer portal but changed plans on Thursday.

Auburn has landed several important pieces since the spring transfer portal window opened such as former Indiana defensive lineman Philip Blidi and former Penn State wide receiver KeAndre Lambert-Smith.

Reserve offensive lineman Garner Langlo is no longer with Auburn

Only one member of Auburn’s 2021 recruiting class is still on the roster.

Auburn offensive lineman [autotag]Garner Langlo[/autotag] is no longer with the football team according to a report by Auburn Undercover’s Nathan King. He is no longer listed on Auburn’s online roster for the 2023 season.

Langlo was entering his third season on the Plains after signing with Auburn as a three-star prospect in the 2021 recruiting cycle. His departure means [autotag]Jarquez Hunter[/autotag] is the only player from that class still on the Plains.

Langlo was the No. 634 overall player and No. 43 interior offensive lineman in the 247Sports Composite ranking.Ā From Inverness, Florida, he never appeared in a game for the Tigers and was practicing with the reserves during fall camp.

The Tigers are less than three weeks away from their season opener against UMass on Sept. 2 in Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Report: Auburn safety no longer on roster

The Tigers will be down a man in the defensive backfield ahead of fall camp.

Auburn will be without one of its key defensive backs heading into fall camp.

Brian Stultz of Auburn Rivals reported Thursday afternoon that safety [autotag]Cayden Bridges[/autotag] is no longer listed on Auburn’s roster. The report was confirmed by Matt Cohen of AL.com. At the time of this post, there is no reason given for the departure.

Bridges played in 12 games over his two-year career, with all 12 games coming in the 2022 season. As a redshirt freshman, He recorded 19 tackles with a pass deflection. His most notable play was his fumble recovery in the endzone of Auburn’s 17-14 overtime win over Missouri.

According to Pro Football Focus, Bridges missed just three tackles and allowed two touchdowns in 386 snaps. His final grade of 63.9 was the 10th-highest among returning defensive players.

Cohen also pointed out that there are only two players from the 2021 signing class remaining on the roster: [autotag]Jarquez Hunter[/autotag] and [autotag]Garner Langlo[/autotag]. [autotag]Zion Puckett[/autotag] and [autotag]Jaylin Simpson[/autotag] will look to anchor the safety position this season.

Reactions to Auburn’s Early Signing Day

Twitter wasn’t exactly happy with how Auburn’s 2021 signing class has turned out so far on the first day of the Early Signing Period.

Things today were certainly interesting. The good news is that Auburn managed to sign 12 commits today. The bad news is that the Tigers’ 2021 recruiting class is currently ranked 46th overall nationally. The Tigers have not fallen below the top 25 in recruiting since 2003. Luckily they have plenty of more time to improve before February 3rd.

Early Signing Day is always exciting, especially when it falls on day three of Auburn fans begging the question, “Who is Auburn even going to hire to coach these guys next year?”

Head coaching chaos aside, today was still an exciting day for Auburn fans and future players. I know I’m looking forward to watching each of these guys play in orange and blue. It takes a lot of courage for these young men to sign when the future of a program is uncertain, but hey, that’s when you know these guys love Auburn and are coming for the right reasons.

Let’s get into the reactions from today:

Sad news in addition to this, but redshirt freshman RB Mark Antony Richards has entered the transfer portal. It’s a depressing feeling to see depth leaving at a time like this. We wish him nothing but the best.

Today was not ideal by any means, but these young guys are the future. Take a deep breath, remain calm, and pray that Auburn’s decision makers find the right guy who can build upon this recruiting class, find some offensive linemen and linebackers, and coach these guys up to the standard of Auburn football that we all know and love.
