Head over to www.thewarrapport.com for all the best Auburn Content

The Auburn football transfer portal is heating up — and it’s creating some serious waves across The Plains. In today’s Auburn Express episode, powered by The War Rapport, Mike G. and Kyle dive deep into the latest portal departures, roster reactions, and how new head coach Alex Golesh plans to rebuild the trenches heading into the 2025 season.

From Jackson Arnold’s expected departure to the surprising losses of Malcolm Simmons and Perry Thompson, this episode gives the full rundown of who’s in, who’s out, and why these moves matter for the program’s future. Kyle and Mike discuss the importance of culture, the challenge of NIL expectations, and how Auburn’s offensive line rebuild will define the early Golesh era.

The conversation also breaks down how the new NCAA roster limits are impacting walk-ons, how Auburn will manage scholarships heading into spring practice, and what fans can expect from Auburn’s approach to portal recruiting in January.

Whether you’re excited about the fresh start or frustrated by the names leaving, this episode puts every move into perspective. Auburn’s future depends on building smarter, recruiting tougher, and getting back to dominating the line of scrimmage — just like the old Tommy Tuberville days.
