Path to the Plains: Wide receiver Keshaun Singleton

Auburn’s roster will look almost brand new this fall.

It’s just how college football operates nowadays. The transfer portal makes it more rare than ever for fans to know the entire roster like they used to. And since there’s so much overturn on Auburn’s roster, there’s no better time than the summer to get to know the guys suiting up for the Tigers this fall.

Over the next several weeks, we’ll take a look at the projected two-deep and their journey to the Plains.

Up next is wide receiver Keshaun Singleton, who projects as one of Auburn’s starting wide receivers and will have two years of eligibility remaining.

BELIEVING IN GOLESH FROM THE START

Singleton was a 3-star prospect out of Meadowcreek in Norcross, Ga., with an initial top five of Memphis, Georgia Southern, Eastern Michigan, Western Kentucky and Georgia State. And then on signing day, Singleton somewhat surprisingly signed with Alex Golesh and South Florida.

He spent his true freshman season on the sideline, using his redshirt while dealing with an injury.

In the following two seasons, Singleton emerged as one of the top wide receivers for USF. Singleton caught 27 passes for 408 yards and three touchdowns as a redshirt freshman in 2024 before his best season last fall.

As a redshirt sophomore in 2025, Singleton led the team with 50 receptions, 877 yards and eight touchdowns. His 877 yards receiving ranked eighth in the American Conference, while his eight touchdowns were tied for second-most in the league.

Singleton then entered the transfer portal following the departure of Alex Golesh from USF. He signed with Auburn nine days later, following Golesh, his position coach Kodi Burns and offensive coordinator Joel Gordon.

“I trust (Golesh),” Singleton told AuburnSports in January. “I believe in his process, I believe in everything he is about to bring to this team, I trust he and the coaches to put us in a position to where we will win a bunch of games.”

Not to mention it also reunited him with his quarterback for his entire college career, Byrum Brown.

“That’s my guy,” Singleton added. “It’s amazing. We have a special bond. I’m really fired up to get back on the field with him.”

QUOTES OF NOTE

Alex Golesh in April on Singleton:

“Keshaun Singleton continues to be really steady, continues to play really, really confident, which is – we need him to. He’s had to take this next step for him.”

Cornerback Rayshawn Pleasant on who’s tough to go against in practice:

“Keshaun Singleton and Jeremiah Koger. There’s a lot more guys, but those guys — you don’t have any room for error. Every error you make, they’re just gonna make a play. That just makes us be detailed with everything that we do. If we have one little error, those boys are gonna make a play.”

Singleton’s message to Auburn fans after signing with the Tigers:

“I’m ready to come in and work. Y’all are going to get everything out of me every single day.”
