Auburn Football Expected to Lose Wide Receiver to the Transfer Portal

Auburn is expecting to lose a wide receiver to the transfer portal.

Omari Kelly, a sophomore receiver for the Tigers, is expected to enter the transfer portal, per Mike Gittens of The War Rapport.

Kelly has five receptions for 101 yards and no touchdowns through two seasons with Auburn. He caught two passes for 45 yards this season, both of which came in Auburn's blowout win over Samford in September.

As it stands, the Tigers have three receivers committed in their 2024 class, including five-star Perry Thompson and four-stars Bryce Cain and Malcolm Simmons.

Five-star Cam Coleman may be flipping to Auburn soon as well. It could be a loaded receiver room on the Plains next season.

A source tells me Omari Kelly is expected to announce his intention to enter the portal. The portal opens December 4th. #auburnfootball @thewarrapport

A three-star prospect in the 2022 recruiting class, Kelly was the No. 27 overall athlete and the No. 17 player in the state of Alabama. Rivals ranked him No. 13 among prospects from the state of Alabama and was top 25 nationally at his position by ESPN and 247Sports.He finished second team Class 7A all-state as a junior for Coach Josh Floyd at Hewitt-Trussville High and made an appearance in the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Game. Kelly is also a sprinter in track & field. He should have two seasons of eligibility remaining.
