Transfer target Isaac Ukwu visiting Auburn
Auburn is looking to land its first transfer of the spring window and one of the top players available is visiting. Former JMU edge rusher Isaac Ukwu has arrived on the Plains, he announced.
The graduate transfer entered the portal on Tuesday and already has over 10 offers. The 6-foot-3, 260-pound has had a winding journey since signing with JMU in 2017. He appeared in three games in 2018, missed the next two seasons with injury, and broke out in 2021 and 2022.
He racked up 83 tackles, 27.0 tackles for loss, 16.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery over the past two seasons.

The Tigers are recruiting him at the jack linebacker spot, where they have just four scholarship players. They added Vanderbilt transfer Elijah McAllister in the earlier portal window but he is backed up by an inexperienced and unproven trio of Dylan Brooks, Keldric Faulk, and Brenton Williams.
