Auburn Tigers Offensive Tackle Percy Lewis Enters NCAA Transfer Portal
Auburn Tigers offensive tackle Percy Lewis has announced his decision to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, marking the latest roster shakeup for the Auburn football team. The 6-foot-7, 360-pound lineman, who joined the Tigers as a highly touted recruit in the 2023 class, has yet to see significant playing time on the field this season. His departure has raised questions about the program’s depth on the offensive line heading into the off-season.
Lewis, a former three-star recruit out of Lackawanna College in Pennsylvania, was considered a promising addition to Auburn’s offensive line, bringing both size and power to the Tigers’ front. However, despite his potential, he struggled to break into the starting rotation under head coach Hugh Freeze during the 2024 season.
The move to enter the transfer portal comes as part of a broader trend in college football, where players are increasingly seeking more opportunities or changes in their playing situations. For Auburn, Lewis’ departure will add to the already significant turnover within the team, especially within the offensive line, a critical area for development as the Tigers look to rebuild their roster.
As of now, it remains unclear which programs will be vying for Lewis’ services, but his impressive physical attributes will certainly make him an attractive option for other schools looking to bolster their offensive line.
Auburn will now need to address its offensive line depth, which has been a work in progress throughout the season. With spring practices on the horizon, the Tigers will focus on developing their remaining talent and potentially adding new pieces through the transfer portal to ensure a more solid and experienced line for the upcoming season.
