Two transfer targets pay visit to Auburn over the weekend
Hugh Freeze is working to fill key needs during the second transfer portal window and is on the right track by welcoming two players from his wishlist to campus.
Over the weekend, Cincinnati’s Jaheim Thomas and Tulsa’s Jaden Muskrat each paid a visit to the Plains.
Muskrat was one of the first players to receive an Auburn offer once the second transfer portal window opened. According to Jason Caldwell of Auburn Undercover, Muskrat was on campus Saturday and was even spotted at Auburn’s baseball game against Mississippi State at Plainsman Park. Over the last three seasons, Muskrat has played on new offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery’s offensive line. Last season, he played right tackle for the Golden Hurricane, opposite transfer Dillon Wade. According to Pro Football Focus, Muskrat allowed just three sacks in 848 snaps in 2022.
On Sunday, Christian Clemente of Auburn Undercover reported that Cincinnati linebacker Jaheim Thomas was also on campus Sunday for an official visit. Thomas made 70 stops for the Bearcats last season and recorded nine quarterback hurries according to Pro Football Focus. Thomas is seen as a potential candidate for Auburn’s new Jack linebacker position.
Auburn will continue to search for new additions to its roster over the next week, as the transfer portal window is set to close on Sunday.
