Auburn football is listed as a transfer portal winner

Transfer portal season seems to be over for most schools across college football as many staffs have filled up their roster and have done their best to address as many needs as they could during both transfer windows.

Matt Zenitz of On3 ranked the winners of the transfer portal. He put Auburn at number one. He has the Tigers edging out USC, SMU, Ole Miss, Alabama, and other top programs in college football.

Here's what Zenitz wrote about Auburn's transfer portal prowess.

Coming out of spring ball, Hugh Freeze and his Auburn staff had hoped to add transfer talent at quarterback (most notably) as well as several other spots. They were successful in accomplishing that. The Tigers landed eight transfers, including a likely new starting QB in Michigan State transfer Payton Thorne and as many as four or so other potential starters. There’s a lot of enthusiasm at Auburn about Appalachian State EDGE transfer Jalen McLeod and his ability as a pass rusher. McLeod posted six sacks for App State last season.

Here's the full story at On3.
