Ranking Auburn football's nine transfer portal additions
Auburn has added nine players via the transfer portal so far this offseason.
The Tigers added Zach Calzada, a quarterback from Texas A&M, Robby Ashford, a quarterback from Oregon, Craig McDonald, a defensive back from Iowa State, DJ James, a defensive back from Oregon, Jayson Jones, a defensive lineman from Oregon, Eugene Asante a linebacker from North Carolina, Dazalin Worsham a receiver from Miami, Morris Joesph, a defensive lineman from Memphis, and last but not least Koy Moore a receiver from LSU.
Some of these additions will help the team this year, while others will be fix-up projects for the future.
Coach Bryan Harsin and his coaching staff did a pretty good job of bringing in talent from the portal, but a few positions needed a player or two, and it didn't happen.
There were two main positions that Auburn needed help in as we headed into the off-season, and they were receiver and offensive line. The coaching staff filled the hole at receiver by adding Moore and Worsham. While it is great that they brought in these two talented receivers, the staff did not get a single offensive lineman from the portal. This has scared Auburn fans as we prepare for the 2022 season.
Let's rank the nine Tiger transfer portal additions based on their impact this upcoming season.
9. Dazalin Worsham, WR
8. Robby Ashford, QB
7. Eugene Asante, LB
6. Morris Joseph, DL
5. Koy Moore, WR
4. Jayson Jones, DL
3. Craig McDonald, S
2. DJ James, CB
1. Zach Calzada, QB
It will be very interesting to see the roles these different portal additions play, but to say the least, you will see many of these players on the field in 2022.
