An overview of Auburn football's linebacker room
In this story:
The transfer portal giveth, and the transfer portal taketh away.
The Tigers have lost two backup linebackers to the portal in the last day, with Kameron Brown and Desmond Tisdol announcing plans to enter the portal on Wednesday.
Hugh Freeze noted on Monday afternoon that linebacker was one of the deeper units on the team. Now, with two men out, the rotation gets a little tighter.
Here's an updated look at the entire room as the Tigers work through spring practice.
