New Auburn defensive line coach Jeremy Garrett calls the addition of the Tigers' three transfer portal additions "huge" as Garrett works to develop a unit capable of stopping the run and holding in check the elite offenses of the SEC next fall. Auburn added former five-star prospect Justin Rogers from Kentucky, along with Mosiah Nasili-Kite from Maryland, Elijah McAlister from Vanderbilt and Lawrence Johnson from Purdue. Rogers has two years of eligibility remaining, while Nasili-Kite, McAlister and Johnson all arrive at Auburn with one year of eligibility remaining. The downside of three transfer seniors is immediate roster turnover next winter. The upside is legitimate Power-Five conference experience, and for Garrett, hopefully that equates to an immediate successful rebuild. Garrett talks about his transfers, Justin Rogers specifically and more inside.
