Bryan Harsin’s Auburn football program will be bringing on a stud defender from the B1G 10.

In landing Northwestern transfer Andrew Leota, the Tigers have proven to be a destination for premier talent under the new regime. Per 247sports.com, the former Wildcat recorded 25 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 6.5 sacks in his three-year stint in Evanston, Illinois. This past year was when the six-foot-four, 250 lb defensive end amassed most of them, with 23 tackles and 4 sacks during the topsy-turvy 2020 campaign.

Unlike in the SEC, Leota played in front of cardboard cutouts in lieu of in-person fans.
