The Auburn Tigers were one of seven teams to be included in Saturday Down South's Connor O'Gara's SEC All-Transfer Team, a list of the top 10 portal players from the 2025 season.
O'Gara also included players from the LSU Tigers, Missouri Tigers, Georgia Bulldogs, TAMU Aggies, Ole Miss Rebels, and Oklahoma Sooners on his team. Only one College Football Playoff team from the SEC, the Alabama Crimson Tide, didn't have a representative.
O'Gara credited Auburn's lone representative, linebacker Xavier Atkins, for being ready for a starting role upon transfering to the Plains from LSU.
