Georgia Tech's top transfer portal target, Eric Singleton Jr., has officially committed to Auburn, as announced by the school on Monday. Singleton, who led Georgia Tech in receiving for the past two seasons, was highly sought after and ranked as the No. 3 player in the transfer portal and the top receiver by 247Sports.
During his most recent season, Singleton showcased his talent with 56 catches for 754 yards and three touchdowns. In his freshman year, he recorded 48 catches for 714 yards and six touchdowns, demonstrating his consistency and playmaking ability.
Singleton's addition to Auburn's roster comes at a crucial time as the team looks to fill the void left by KeAndre Lambert-Smith, the leading receiver from the previous season who transferred from Penn State. Lambert-Smith made a significant impact during his time at Auburn, making Singleton's arrival all the more important for the team's receiving corps.
Furthermore, Auburn had already secured another transfer receiver, Horatio Fields, from Wake Forest. Fields, who had an impressive season with 39 receptions for 463 yards and four touchdowns at Wake Forest, adds depth and experience to Auburn's receiving unit.
With the addition of both Singleton and Fields, Auburn is poised to have a dynamic and talented group of receivers for the upcoming season. These acquisitions signal the team's commitment to bolstering its offensive firepower and providing support for its quarterbacks.
As the college football landscape continues to evolve with the transfer portal playing a significant role in player movement, Auburn's successful recruitment of Singleton and Fields underscores the program's ability to attract top talent and remain competitive in the ever-changing collegiate sports environment.
