Devan Barrett hit the transfer portal earlier this summer, but the former Auburn running back/defensive back won't be going too far away for the remainder of his college career. Barrett on Friday morning announced he will be transferring to Troy to play defensive back. He should have two years of eligibility remaining, thanks to the NCAA's free year of eligibility due to the pandemic. At Troy, Barrett will reunite with Chip Lindsey, who served as Auburn's offensive coordinator during Barrett's first two seasons on the Plains and is currently the Trojans' head coach, as well as Troy assistant Al Pogue. Pogue spent last season on Auburn's staff coaching outside linebackers and Bucks and is now Troy's cornerbacks coach.

A former four-star running back, Barrett signed with Auburn in 2017 as the nation's No. 11 player at the position. He had 14 carries for 79 yards while also catching 10 passes for 33 yards and a touchdown as a true freshman, but the following spring he split time between running back and wide receiver, and by fall camp entering his sophomore season, he made the switch to the defensive side of the ball. - Birmingham News

Auburn drew some attention earlier this summer when it added former LSU quarterback TJ Finley, who left LSU after taking over for an injured Myles Brennan only to lose the job to fellow freshman Max Johnson. As a result, Finley joined an Auburn quarterback room that featured two-year starter Bo Nix along with super senior Grant Loy and true freshman Dematrius Davis. Fans have talked a great deal about Finley's role during his first fall as an Auburn Tiger, but it isn't clear whether he is seen as a viable candidate to start or instead a talented backup to Nix. There will likely be questions asked to Harsin or Nix about what Finley is expected to do this season. - Opelika-Auburn News

Bo Nix isn't the only Auburn quarterback to secure an endorsement for his name, image and likeness this week. TJ Finley, the former LSU quarterback who transferred to Auburn in May, announced Friday night that he has partnered with PSD Underwear, a "premium, on trend boxer brief" brand based in Los Angeles. The brand boasts 570,000-plus followers on Instagram. Auburn wide receiver J.J. Evans also announced late Friday night on his Instagram account that he partnered with PSD Underwear. - Birmingham News

It appears Auburn's running back room is about to lose a player. According to On3.com's Matt Zenitz, Auburn senior running back Devan Barrett has entered the transfer portal. Barrett's exit would leave the Tigers with four scholarship running backs just over two months before the season opener against Akron on Sept. 4. Auburn's backfield would now consist of sophomore Tank Bigsby, senior Shaun Shivers, redshirt freshman Jordon Ingram and true freshman Jarquez Hunter in the backfield. Hunter signed with Auburn as a three-star recruit in February, and Ingram joined the Tigers after the Mobile native started his career at Central Michigan.

Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin spoke highly of rising senior Shaun Shivers and the work ethic he brings to the running back room. Barrett stands as the eighth Auburn player to enter the transfer portal since the spring, joining defensive end Jaren Handy, defensive lineman Jay Hardy, safety Chris Thompson Jr., cornerback Kamal Hadden, cornerback Marco Domio, offensive tackle Prince Sammons and wide receiver Hal Presley. - Opelika-Auburn News

Bo Nix is no longer the only player on Auburn's roster with starting experience as an SEC quarterback. Former LSU quarterback TJ Finley committed to the Tigers Monday, choosing Auburn over the other three schools he announced as finalists - Penn State, Houston and Alabama. At Auburn, Finley expects to get a chance to compete with Nix for the Tigers' starting quarterback job. If nothing else though, Auburn has added quality depth to its quarterback room and additional competition for the backup spot behind Nix on the Tigers' quarterback depth chart.

Before Monday, Grant Loy - who threw for 1,137 yards at Bowling Green in 2019 - and freshman Dematrius Davis were the only scholarship QBs on the Tigers roster aside from Nix. While Finley ended the spring as LSU's No. 3 quarterback, the 6-foot-6, 240-pound Louisiana native started five games as a freshman last season and threw for 941 yards and five touchdowns with five interceptions. - Birmingham News

There's a date that looms large in the recruitment of former LSU quarterback TJ Finley - June 3. That's when the SEC's presidents are reportedly set to vote on whether to do away with the league's rule that requires intraconference transfers to sit out a season before being eligible. Although the NCAA passed a one-time transfer waiver this spring, that one hurdle is still in place in the SEC, and the status of that rule will factor into Finley's decision on where to transfer, he told AL.com on Sunday.

"Some SEC schools wanted me to wait on that rule because of course if they bring me in, they expect me to compete and try to play this year and not have to sit out or wait or whatever," Finley said. "That plays a big part in my decision on where I want to go play." Several Power 5 programs have reached out to Finley since he hit the transfer portal May 6, including Auburn, Alabama, Mississippi State and Texas A&M within the SEC. Penn State and Michigan, both in the Big Ten, are also in the mix for the former three-star prospect who started five games for LSU as a true freshman last season. - Birmingham News

LSU quarterback TJ Finley officially entered the NCAA transfer portal Thursday morning, a development that came a day after news broke that the Tigers four-man quarterback battle was heading to just three players. The sophomore and Ponchatoula High graduate posted a farewell message on Twitter that said in part that "change is never easy, but is needed for growth." The 6-foot-6, 242-pound Finley had a 2-3 record as a starter last season and completed 80-of-140 passes for 941 yards, five touchdowns and five interceptions. Finley started in five games as a freshman, stepping in for Myles Brennan when he suffered a season-ending abdominal muscle tear against Missouri in the third game of the season. Finley won the job over freshman Max Johnson at the time, but after inconsistent play over his five starts, LSU coach Ed Orgeron started Johnson in the final two games of the season. - Baton Rouge Advocate

What's old is new again in Auburn's running backs room this spring. After an offseason shakeup that saw both D.J. Williams and Mark-Antony Richards transfer to Florida State and UCF, respectively, the Tigers' backfield has a new look to it, and the team is hoping to find some depth relief in the form of a former running back turned defensive back who is back to his natural position - senior Devan Barrett. "He's got the body type; I do like his attitude as a person and just who he is," Auburn coach Bryan Harsin said. "He can go play physical and play tough, and that position, that requires it. You've got to be a different guy to play tailback, and you've got to be someone who's physical."

Barrett is a former four-star prospect who originally signed with Auburn in 2017 as a running back, but it has been a while since the 6-foot, 195-pounder had seen actual reps at the position. After cracking the backfield rotation as a freshman in 2017, when he had 14 carries for 79 yards and 10 receptions for 33 yards and a touchdown, Barrett moved to cornerback the following fall (after splitting some time at receiver in the spring of 2018 as well). He worked mostly on special teams after his switch to cornerback, notably recovering a blocked punt for a touchdown against Alabama State in 2018, and then opted out during the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns. - Birmingham News

Barrett has already been one of the biggest winners of the offseason, and now he has an opportunity to really carve out a role for himself in the Tigers' backfield. The former four-star prospect began his Auburn career at running back but spent much of the last three seasons at defensive back while playing sparingly. He opted out late last season before deciding to return to the team this offseason, and he made the switch back to the offensive side to help bolster Auburn's dwindling depth at running back. Barrett is one of just three running backs on scholarship for Auburn this spring, along with Tank Bigsby and Shaun Shivers. He won't be supplanting Bigsby, the reigning SEC Freshman of the Year, atop the depth chart, but his versatility gives him a chance to vie for touches behind the Tigers' bell-cow back. - Birmingham News

Auburn is turning to a familiar face to provide needed depth to its running back room. Devan Barrett, who began his career as a running back before eventually moving to defense and ultimately opting out late last season, has returned to the team and will return to his old position, Auburn coach Bryan Harsin confirmed Wednesday. Barrett is the third Tigers player to rejoin the team after opting out at some point last fall. "He's a guy that is coming back into the program, a guy that, in high school, played running back," Harsin said. "He played running back here. He will be back, and he will be in that role." - Birmingham News
