With the new era of Transferring all around, and 2 coaching changes recently at Auburn, I think these guy deserve shoutouts for sticking to their commitment to Auburn.
Alex McPherson (2022 Class)
The only player left from Harsin's last recruiting class of 2022. He's battled sickness and has been a great kicker for Auburn.
2025 - 20/23 FG, Made his last 15 in a row. 40/45 FG for his Career and 87/87 XP.
Jeramiah Cobb (2023 Class)
Committed to Auburn in the summer before Harsin's final season, and stayed committed after Harsin was fired. Played backup rolls his first 2 seasons and had a great year last year. 969 Rushing Yards on 175 carries, 5 TDs.
Champ Anthony (2023 Class)
Played Juco before Auburn. Offered and enrolled to Auburn during the summer of 2023. A team Captain for the 2025 team. He's had some tough injuries. Broken leg in 2024, broken thumb in first game of 2025, and injury to the same leg again in 2025. Was a team Captain for the 2025 team. 30 Tackles, 4 PBUs in career at Auburn.
Sylvester Smith (2023 Class)
Flipped from Tennessee by Freeze's staff. Played a good bit at the slot corner position. 60 Tackles, 8 PBUs, and 1 Int in career at Auburn.
Damari Alston was the only other player from the 2022 class that was on the 2025 team. He's signed with Tulane for 2026.
Keldric Faulk and Conner Lew are early NFL draft players from the 2023 Class.
If missing someone let me know, and I'll add them.

good post
but its tragic that the list of four-year guys is so damn small, if memory serves we had that many on the 2010 OL alone
while our situation was exacerbated by the Harsin/Freezus debacles, i imagine virtually every school has a shortage of guys who’ve stuck around for their entire collegiate careers
and CFB overall is the worse for it IMHO

I'd love to see the list of guys on the 2004 team that spent 4 years or more at Auburn.
I know we'll never know the answer, but I firmly believe that team chemistry, pride, and familiarity are some of the most important components to building a good football team. Even in the NFL, it's rare you have a Super Bowl team that was thrown together in 1 or 2 years. They typically have multiple years of a core group of guys working in the same system before they make a successful run.
I'd bet that any NC team pre 2021 would crush the NC teams of the past few years.
