Auburn defensive lineman reportedly enters transfer portal
Auburn has lost a few players to the NCAA transfer portal since the end of the 2021 season, which saw the Tigers post a 6-7 overall record.
Now, according to a report on Wednesday, the Tigers are losing another member of their defense.
As you can see below, it was reported by Rivals that 2020 3-star DL Daniel Foster-Allen had decided to enter the portal and explore his transfer options:
2020 3-star DL Daniel Foster-Allen entered the transfer portal; did not see the field during his two seasons with Auburn @AuburnRivals @BMattAU https://t.co/J8KA8xZSLp

Foster-Allen, a Mobile, Alabama, native, had not seen action in either the 2020 or 2021 seasons for the Tigers.
We’ll see where Foster-Allen ends up playing his college football in 2022 and beyond, but it appears his time on The Plains has come to an end.
I was talking to a guy in the waiting room of my doctor’s office about Tyson. I brought up that Tyson fits Harsin’s scheme really well, and kind of wondered if he would go to AU to stay close to home. Do any of you think this is a possibility?
Real possibility. Very ironic, but real.
I still don’t think we have a real shot at Thompson but who knows.
I have read that Oregon transfer QB Robby Ashford is next on the list to consider. Other than he went Hoover, I don’t know anything about him.
If you saw both Tyson and Ashford, what’s your take?
I think there is a real possibility that Tyson goes to AU. Tyson has played some, Ashford hasn’t; Ashford is a dual threat, Tyson is a pro style that seems to fit Harsin’s scheme better; Ashford seems like he may be more serious about baseball than football. They both have the measurables. It would be something no one would have thought would happen. Bear Bryant’s grandson playing for AU. LOL
If Tyson comes and wins the job, the number of times the story is in the media will be sickening.
No chance Tyson goes to AU
Yes, it would. It would be like every game. Sort of like the no assistant has beaten Saban. Now I wonder what they are going to run into the ground.
wde0012 Fair enough, but what is your reasoning?
Well for starters his family probably would disown him. Plus he wants a chance to play. 4 QBs on the roster already at AU. Don’t think AU would pursue either
I really would not be surprised if Finley transferred. He really doesn’t have a chance to start or play much unless there are a couple of injuries. Plus, he would be the only one with playing experience on the team. Right? I don’t actually think his family would worry about it. He would still be playing close to home, in a P-5 program in the SEC. It is AU or out of state if that is what he is looking for in a program, and he fits Harsin’s system pretty well. I admit it would be kind of crazy, but it does fill needs for both he and AU.
Finley wouldn’t be the only with experience. Calzada also has experience. It is not a real possibility. It doesn’t fit AUs needs with already 4 qbs on the roster and it would fit Tysons, as he is looking to play.
If Finley transfers he would have to wait a year to be eligible if he goes to a FBS team since he has already transferred.
removing some dead wood.Gives us more room to get some good players,
Yep. 2 years on scholarship and no game action?
Best he move on.
Why is this even a story? He hasn’t played a down after two years – let’s move on as there is nothing to see here.
