Hate losing Shivers, but I understand it.

I know people say they don’t care unless it’s starters but every player that leaves is less depth that we have.

We didn't get Shivers the ball enough this year imo. Another Mike Bobo decision I'm sure, since he only brought him in on 3rd down for the swing pass. Sounds strange to say for a 5'7 guy, but we will miss his toughness and physicality.

Canion doesn't surprise me. Wouldn't be shocked if Capers joins him. Maybe Evans too.

Please god don't let Tennison transfer. He's better than other other option we have coming back next year (way better than Kaufman) and should have been playing from the beginning of the season.. glad the coaches finally woke up and stopped playing favorites towards the end of the year though.

Sad to see Shivers go. He's a guy you want on your team if you want someone to show others how to run people over. Only barrier for him was size, and he STILL ran people over...wish him all the best.

If we could’ve had Tank and Shivers in the ball game on 3rd and 2, they wouldn’t have stuffed us like they did. They could collapse the middle at their own mercy with Shivers ready for the swing pass.

Just to mentally prepare everyone.. the rumor I heard a couple weeks ago was a possibility of double digit transfers out. So there could be a lot more names coming soon. I hope its not that many, but its definitely possible.

I will miss Shivers. He is one of my favorites over the last decade. Hell of a football player. Best of luck to him at his next stop.

Interesting. Do you have a theory as to why so many?

Honestly, don't know who he is.


Defensive end out of Columbus Ga. #45 I think. Played a little the last few years. Made a few good plays when he had the chance

Not sure why he hasnt played. I think he is a Sophomore.



Junior with 4 tackles this year. DE LINK

Same as usual. Nothing crazy. Back ups that either want to play or don't fit the system, Freshman who didn't like being here or thought they should have played and a few surprise names (I consider Shivers somewhat of a surprise).

You are correct, I had forgotten about that.

that Tank, Pappoe, and every other top Auburn player tried to transfer to UAB, but Clark turned them away.

Yea. I guess the new portal rules just make it easier.

Plus we have a few too many people at certain position that aren't contributing. TE and DB mainly. Wouldn't shock me to see some DL transfer out too if they don't fit the 3 DL scheme.

I went down on the field after that 2019 game where Shiver's shined. I'll miss him, he was so so underutilized. I hope our OLine is better next year, but I doubt it.

We could definitely use Haselwood from OU for a year.

Someone get a bag in that man's hands.
