Former Auburn WR finds new home at in-state school

The Birmingham-area native is moving closer to home after spending one season on the Plains.

After spending one season on the Plains, one former Auburn wide receiver is making a move to be closer to home.

[autotag]Dazalin Worsham[/autotag], who was a part of the 2022 roster after transferring in from Miami, has announced that he will be staying in-state, and will transfer to UAB. Worsham is a native of Trussville, and will now play college football 15 miles away from his hometown.

In his lone season at Auburn, Worsham was used sparingly. He reeled in one catch for eight yards against Arkansas on Oct. 29 and returned a total of four punts for 25 yards. According to Pro Football Focus, Worsham took part in 51 plays during the season and ended the season with a grade of 65.8.

Worsham becomes the fifth Auburn player to find a home since entering the transfer portal, and the second to make the move to UAB. Earlier this month, CB [autotag]A.D. Diamond[/autotag] announced that he would also be playing for the Blazers.

Other players to find homes include [autotag]Zach Calzada[/autotag] (Incarnate Word), [autotag]Trey Lindsey[/autotag] (Albany), and [autotag]Keiondre Jones[/autotag] (Florida State).

Former Auburn QB Trey Lindsey announces transfer destination

Trey Lindsey is headed to New York to play for the University of Albany Great Danes.

Former Auburn quarterback [autotag]Trey Lindsey[/autotag] has found his next school. The Montgomery native announced Tuesday night that he will be transferring to the University of Albany.

Lindsey started his Auburn career as a walk-on before earning a scholarship last season and entering the transfer portal in December. His only game action came last season when he appeared in the 41-17 win over Western Kentucky. The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder did not attempt a pass during his four years on the Plains.

He will have two seasons of eligibility for the Great Danes who are returning starting quarterback Reese Poffenbarger, who threw for 2,999 yards, 24 touchdowns, and four interceptions as a redshirt freshman last season.

Hugh Freeze, Spencer Sanders reportedly in contact

After NC State QB Devin Leary signed with Kentucky, Hugh Freeze is seeking another quarterback option from the transfer portal.

Auburn enters the offseason with a lack of depth at the quarterback position.

[autotag]Robby Ashford[/autotag] and [autotag]Holden Geriner[/autotag] remain from last season’s roster following the departures of [autotag]Zach Calzada[/autotag] and [autotag]Trey Lindsey[/autotag] to the transfer portal. Mix that in with the mysterious future of [autotag]T.J. Finley[/autotag], and the freshness of 2023 signee [autotag]Hank Brown[/autotag], and Auburn will need to add a quarterback with some sort of experience.

“Yes, we are (going to seek a transfer QB),” Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze said during his early signing period press conference on Wednesday. “If it’s the right one, that we believe we can win games with.”

The next biggest name tied to Auburn is former Oklahoma State quarterback [autotag]Spencer Sanders[/autotag] according to Nathan King of Auburn Undercover.

Sanders, who entered the transfer portal in early December, would be a solid fit in Freeze’s system due to his success as a passer. In four seasons at Oklahoma State, Sanders passed for 9,553 yards and 67 TD. He is also a threat with his feet, as he has added 1,956 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns to his career total.

Sanders is the next name to watch following former NC State quarterback [autotag]Devin Leary[/autotag]’s signing with Kentucky. Leary visited Auburn prior to the start of the early signing period but elected to sign with the Wildcats. Coastal Carolina’s [autotag]Grayson McCall[/autotag] has also been a hot name to follow, however, he canceled a trip to Auburn due to an “academic snag” according to Jeffrey Lee of Auburn Live.

Auburn has inked two additions from the transfer portal since Dec. 5, former Vanderbilt EDGE rusher [autotag]Elijah McAllister[/autotag] and former FIU tight end [autotag]Rivaldo Fairweather[/autotag].

Report: T.J. Finley to sit out remainder of season

Finley had played just three snaps since Auburn’s loss to Penn State on Sept. 17.

Junior quarterback [autotag]T.J. Finley[/autotag] has made a decision on his immediate future.

According to a report from Jason Caldwell of Auburn Undercover, Finley has elected to sit out the remaining two games of the regular season. Finley’s opt-out leaves Auburn with three scholarship quarterbacks on its depth chart.

A source has told Caldwell that Finley will sit out the remaining games in an effort to heal a shoulder injury that has given him complications since Auburn’s loss to Penn State on Sept. 17 at Jordan-Hare Stadium. He was diagnosed with a grade 2 sprain to his AC joint, which is believed to have happened during the later stages of the first half of that game.

Since that game, Finley has only appeared in one game, taking just three snaps in Oct. 15th’s game at Ole Miss. He did not attempt a pass in the game but lost seven yards of rushing thanks to a sack.

Finley started three games for Auburn this season, where he completed 33-of-55 passes for 431 yards, throwing four interceptions to just one touchdown. He only appeared in four games this season, so Finley could still take a redshirt option and have three years of eligibility remaining says Caldwell.

Speculation of Finley’s future with the program began swirling last week when a report surfaced that suggested that he was looking to enter the transfer portal. It grew on Monday when Finley’s name was left off of the two-deep depth chart ahead of Auburn’s game with Western Kentucky on Saturday.

With Finley’s news, Auburn is down to [autotag]Robby Ashford[/autotag], [autotag]Holden Geriner[/autotag], and [autotag]Trey Lindsey[/autotag] as scholarship quarterbacks.
