Along with Riley entering the portal, Auburn will lose tight ends Luke Deal and Rivaldo Fairweather who are out of eligibility. Senior tight end Brandon Frazier is expected to return in 2025 after suffering a season-ending foot injury in 2024 and sophomore tight end Rico Walker also remains on the roster.

The Auburn Tigers are reported to be losing another player to the transfer portal on Sunday. Tight end Micah Riley is making his way out of Auburn after three years with the program. He recorded three receptions for 43 yards and two touchdowns during his time at Auburn.

Auburn quarterback Hank Brown is reportedly entering the transfer portal, the second Tigers quarterback to do so since Auburn’s season ended Saturday.
