Alex Golesh comments on Auburn’s portal plans, remaining roster spots
Published:
New Auburn head football coach Alex Golesh has experienced plenty of roster turnover since he took on the job in late November, and that reality may not be coming to an end anytime soon.
The Tigers made plenty of headlines when they were among the programs that experienced the most transfer-portal activity in the past months, both in terms of imports and exports.
And while the majority of rosters are settled around the country, Golesh & Co. may not be done adding to theirs.
While attending the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, Golesh spoke to the media about the latest regarding Auburn’s personnel and what moves the program may be looking to make.
“We have a little bit of room. It’s this last part with this last surge of kids that might graduate in May, because school is a thing still,” Golesh said with a chuckle. per AL.com. “There’s still some late junior-college guys or late-qualifying high school guys. We’ve left ourselves a little bit of room, but for the most part we feel like it’s close to done.”
According to 247Sports, Auburn has brought in 39 transfers during this cycle while losing 37. Of the imports, 13 players followed Golesh from South Florida to the plains.
