Yes, welcome on in to Locked On Auburn, your daily Auburn Tigers podcast. I'm your host, Zach Blackerby.

How did Keyshawn Singleton's transfer impact Auburn's roster?

Zac Blackerby 0:42
Thank you so much for making Locked On Auburn your first listen every single day. Daryl Tapish, Montgomery radio legend, hanging out with us. And what a busy morning it's been. The big news did cause someone to enter the portal. We'll talk about that in a second. But Keyshawn Singleton, the former USF wide receiver, he was Byron Brown's wide receiver one last season. And then Joseph Simmons, the left tackle for JMU last season. They both in just a span of like 10 to 15 minutes. They both announced they are now Auburn Tigers.

What role is Joseph Simmons expected to play on Auburn's offensive line?

Daryl Tapish 1:19
Well, if you watched the program this morning that we dropped, we kind of suspected this was going to happen. It was inevitable with Singleton. We even speculated that they wanted to do it for the basketball game tomorrow night. So that might be interesting to see if he's the celebrity and or whatever it is.

What are the implications of Tyler Johnson entering the transfer portal?

Daryl Tapish 1:35
But this is big. I mean, we'll just reiterate what we said earlier. you know, this morning on the show, and I'm glad that there wasn't going into the weekend drama because here's what happens. Again, it's contagious. It's a snowball effect.

How does the addition of Simmons improve Auburn's offensive line?

Daryl Tapish 1:50
People start committing, they see others committing, and then they want to jump on board. So within 15 minutes of Singleton, we'll talk about later on, about Simmons, but in a nutshell, there's more coming. This is, I think, the beginning of a really big wave for this weekend. We suspected that could happen. And on a Friday morning, before people settled down to eat their lunch, you got two big ones. And Singleton, to me, other than Byron Brown, without trying to sound too hype or too over the top, is the biggest one so far that Auburn's had commit in the portal.
Zac Blackerby 2:29
And it seems likely that he's going to be wide receiver one. We talked about a few of the receivers that are also coming in. I think they'll try to add one more, maybe two. We'll see what those numbers look like.

What other roster changes are expected for Auburn this weekend?

Zac Blackerby 2:41
But all of the guys that have been rumored to be coming in, I think he's better than them. So like the guys from Ohio State or... Rodgers from NC State. What was it? Noah Rodgers? Yeah, Noah Rodgers. Graham from Ohio State.

How will the new recruits affect Auburn's defensive strategy?

Zac Blackerby 3:02
The former five-star, then Quincy Porter as well from Ohio State. I think at least in 2026, I would expect Keyshawn Singleton to be a better wide receiver than them and a more productive wide receiver than them. So... I think he's wide receiver one, and that's what he's used to in this system with the same guy throwing the ball, with the same offensive coordinator, with the same position coach, with the same head coach. Okay, yeah, let's see if all this transitions and works.
Daryl Tapish 3:37
I'll even go a step further than that. I would argue that he would have been wide receiver two on last year's team, that only Cam Coleman. I think he's on par with Eric Singleton, which is ironic that they're saying. I'm not saying that one's better than the other, but I think they're very comparable. I think an argument could be made that he would have been just as good as Eric Singleton was last year for Auburn. So he could have been wide receiver two other than Cam Coleman.
Zac Blackerby 4:02
I mean, they're just different receivers.
Daryl Tapish 4:04
They are. They are.
Zac Blackerby 4:05
They're just different receivers.
Daryl Tapish 4:07
I look at targets. I look at receptions. I look at touchdowns. Now a different offense is different quarterback. Don't it to you. Right. My gosh, the numbers look at them. I mean, 18 yards, average receipt reception. Yeah. Eight, eight touchdowns, almost 900 yards. I mean, I don't care what level of that's, that's heavy stuff.
Zac Blackerby 4:28
And also the two products to like the products of their production, uh, Keyshawn Singleton coming from a situation where coaches allowed them to succeed, set them up to succeed. True. And, you know, Eric and the rest of the Auburn receivers for the vast majority of the year were not set up to succeed.
