Auburn offers transfer portal wide receiver Montana Lemonious-Craig
Montana Lemonious-Craig was supposed to be one of the ones that stayed in Colorado for Head Coach Deion Sanders. Instead, he has entered the transfer portal and has been offered by Auburn.
Lemonious-Craig is a 6-Lemonious-Craig-two 185-pound soon-to-be Junior out of Inglewood, California. He was offered by the Auburn coaching staff when he was a 3-star recruit but decided to turn down the Malzhan offense and try out Colorado. Either way, a huge transfer loss for Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffs, He played in all 12 games last season for Colorado and had an amazing Spring game Saturday. Last year Lemonious-Craig caught 23 balls for 359 yards with 3 TDS on a team that lost 11 games. His career totals are 34 for 497 and 5 TDS in a very anemic offense. He decided to test the transfer portal waters after he lit up the Spring game for 3 catches totaling 154 yards and a touchdown. An unexpected loss for Colorado that could be a boon to Auburn’s offense.
Lemonious-Craig is a plug-and-play receiver in the new Auburn offense. He has the speed and size and great hands that the Tigers sorely need. Deion’s loss could quickly become Freeze’s and Auburn’s gain. The offers have came pouring in for this talented young man. Let's hope Auburn can move the needle and snag him up.
The Tigers have now had five players depart from the program within the last couple of weeks, including three backup linebackers:
Wide Receiver Tar'Varish Dawson
Defensive lineman Jeffrey M'ba
Linebacker Kameron Brown
Linebacker Desmond Tisdol
Linebacker Powell Gordon
Auburn has pulled in an impressive haul thus far during Hugh Freeze's first season on the Plains, currently sitting at No. 3 nationally in 247Sports' transfer portal class rankings.
