Hugh Freeze is already bringing hope to an Auburn fan base that has endured tough times. The Tigers new coach has had some much-needed success in recruiting and transfer portal finds.
Onetime starter T.J. Finley transferred to Texas State.
The Tigers clearly need better play at the position after producing only nine passing touchdowns last season while ranking 119th in passing yards per game, averaging 173. “We’ve been able to do things with quarterbacks everywhere we’ve been and produce good enough results to win,” Freeze said.Freeze brought in 20-plus transfers, loading up in particular with offensive linemen and wide receivers, two of the team’s weaker spots in recent seasons.
He added 10 offensive linemen, including five from the transfer portal: Gunner Britton , Avery Jones , Dylan Senda and Tulsa’s Dillon Wade and Jaden Muskrat. The defensive front seven also gets a boost from transfers, including several from within the SEC.who ran for nearly 3,000 yards before heading to the NFL. Jarquez Hunter has been an explosive backup, but was held out at the start of fall camp for unspecified reasons. Hunter has averaged 6.6 yards on 193 carries over his first two seasons.
It’s a fairly deep group. Brian Battie ran for 1,186 yards last season at South Florida, and the 5-foot-7, 170-pounder earned some All-America honors as a kick returner in 2021. Freshman Jeremiah Cobb joins the mix as well.With players returning who started at least 11 games last season, Auburn didn’t need much immediate help in the defensive backfield. The Tigers return a group led by cornerbacks Nehemiah Pritchett and D.J. James, along with Keionte Scott, Jaylin Simpson and Zion Puckett.
