Double Exit: Why Are They Leaving? Auburn Tigers Set To Lose Another Wide Receiver As He Hits The Transfer Portal While Another Star Officially Commits To Alabama. Details Below…

In today’s edition of Auburn Tigers News, Auburn football wide receiver Jay Fair enters the transfer portal and former Auburn basketball guard Aden Holloway commits to Alabama

 

The transfer portal now includes an official second Auburn football portal. Jay Fair, a wide receiver, was let go from the team on Saturday morning. In the recruiting class of 2022, Fair, a three-star talent out of high school, committed to the Tigers.

Following two seasons on the Plains, Fair amassed 358 yards with two touchdowns and 38 receptions. Despite her great talent, Fair had a difficult season finale. It’s hardly surprising that Fair will be looking at other possibilities because the new receiver corps is starting to take shape and he was probably quite far down the depth chart.

Former Auburn basketball guard Aden Holloway commits to Alabama

Aden Holloway, a former player for Auburn basketball, declared his allegiance to Nate Oats and the Crimson Tide when visiting Tuscaloosa. Holloway, a five-star prospect out of high school and a McDonald’s All American, only spent one season playing for Bruce Pearl at Auburn.

Despite having a strong start to the season as a behind-the-arc player, his contributions waned and occasionally nearly stopped, particularly when SEC play started. Prior to deciding to commit to the Tide, he visited no other schools after logging into the transfer portal on April 9.

Holloway averaged 7.3 points on 31.8 percent shooting and 2.7 assists in 20.2 minutes per game during the 2023–24 campaign. Despite playing in almost 30 games as a starter, he mostly rotated with Tre Donaldson.who also entered the transfer portal.

The Tigers will be returning seniors Johni Broome, Dylan Cardwell, and Chris Moore alongside Chad Baker-Mazara and Denver Jones. New additions will include Furman transfer guard JP Pegues and incoming freshman Tahaad Pettiford.
