Spring preview: Auburn's new look WR room is best case scenario

[ASFN Admin]

The Auburn Tigers' wide receivers room looks a lot different than it did in 2025. Players like Cam Coleman, Perry Thompson, and Malcolm Simmons are all gone via the transfer portal. Coleman (Texas) and Simmons (Texas A&M) stayed in the SEC, and Thompson heads to the Big Ten with Minnesota. They were three of the "Freeze Four" brought in during the 2024 recruiting cycle for Auburn.

While those departures in the moment seemed bad, head coach Alex Golesh and wide receivers coach Kodi Burns did a good job rebuilding the position. New quarterback Byrum Brown will have plenty of familiar faces to throw to, with five former South Florida receivers transferring to the Plains. That includes top target Keshaun Singleton, along with Jeremiah Koger, Chas Nimrod, and Christian Neptune. Those four combined for 2,275 yards and 20 touchdowns in 2025. They also added a talented freshman in Kory Pettigrew from the Bulls.

Auburn does return some players from last season's group. The talented Bryce Cain returns to the team looking to reach his potential when he first arrived in 2024. Cain is the only one still on the team from the "Freeze Four". When he committed to the Tigers, he was a four-star prospect who rated as the No. 11 player in Alabama according to 247Sports. Auburn will also have Sam Turner back, who has been with the program for a couple of years. They also have some talented freshmen coming into the program with Brady Marchese, Deshawn Spencer, and Brian Williams.
