Anonymous coaches, GMs, evaluate Auburn's impressive transfer portal haul
Several coaches and GMs recently shared their opinions on the top transfers from the last cycle. What are they saying about Auburn's haul?
With nearly three weeks of preseason camp in the rear-view mirror, Auburn football is ramping up its preparations for Week 1 of the 2025 season. While it will start simulating game week prep this week, it won’t be the start of Auburn’s game planning for Baylor.
They won the national title with coach Gene Chizik and Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Cam Newton in 2010, then lost 14 games over the next two years. They advanced to the championship game under coach Gus Malzahn in 2013, then delivered a string of mediocrity that essentially turned the Plains into a wasteland.
The school announced that it would be retiring Newton’s No. 2 number after he led the football program to a national title in 2010 and won the Heisman Trophy. He is one of the best players in Auburn history and is only the fourth Auburn player to ever have his number retired, joining Bo Jackson, Pat Sullivan, and Terry Beasley.
Auburn has played Mercer 13 times in its history, dating all the way back to the 1800s, but it has always been a lopsided series in favor of the Tigers. They're 13-0 against the Bears, outscoring them 572-36. The pair have played just twice since 1922, and Auburn has won both matchups by a combined score of 66-26.
Analysis: Possibly the most solidified position on the team, Keldric Faulk will be the starter at defensive end. However, that doesn’t mean others won’t play, and Williams seems primed for a breakout season in 2025. Smith and JJ Faulk are next in line and will battle for snaps as freshmen.
