OVERHAUL: Auburn Football, Alex Golesh Part With QB Ashton Daniels, Enters Transfer Portal

Auburn Tigers shake up their quarterback room as Ashton Daniels and Kayin Lee plan to enter the transfer portal, signaling a bold new era under Alex Golesh. Is Auburn’s restructured payment strategy and renewed focus on culture the answer to years of underperformance?\n\nZac Blackerby and Lindsay Crosby break down Auburn’s shifting roster, exploring how Golesh’s approach is reshaping the team’s NIL spending, depth chart, and locker room culture. Key topics include Daniels’ exit, the pursuit of Deuce Knight and Byrum Brown for 2026, and how losing cornerstone DBs like Kayin Lee affects Auburn’s secondary. The conversation tackles resource allocation in the age of the transfer portal, DJ Durkin’s influence, and which remaining players are poised to step up next season.
