Auburn Transfer Portal Target Tracker: Defense

The NCAA transfer portal spring window opened on April 16 allowing FBS college football players to officially enter their names into the portal. Players have 15 days to enter their names into the portal, which closes on April 30.

Auburn added nine transfers during the winter window, including five on defense: safeties Jerrin Thompson (Texas) and Antonio Kite (Alabama), defensive linemen Gage Keys (Kansas) and Trill Carter (Texas) and linebacker Dorian Mausi (Duke). The Tigers will look to add more in the spring window.

Auburn Live will track the transfer targets here on our Transfer Portal Target Tracker. Check back daily as we continuously will update the board with additions and subtractions. We will list each position, the number of portal additions we believe Auburn will add at the position and whether the target is trending up, down or neutral.

Auburn on Sunday added a commitment from Blidi and could be close to adding another transfer defensive lineman in Raikes. The former Texas A&M lineman will announce his decision on Monday. Auburn appears to be in a great spot for him. The Tigers could be done here should Raikes commit.

Crawford is in Auburn on an official visit and is scheduled to leave on Tuesday. Auburn seems to be the favorite here and a commitment could come sooner than later. The Tigers could be done at edge should they add Crawford.

Auburn likely will look to add at least one transfer defensive back and already has reached out to Fegans, the older brother of 2025 top safety target, Anquon Fegans. The Tigers also have contacted McClain, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett.
