Auburn cornerback JC Hart plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, On3 has learned. He spent two seasons with the Tigers and will now look elsewhere.

Hart received minimal playing time last season. He registered five total tackles in two games with the Tigers in 2024.

As a member of the Class of 2023, Hart was a three-star recruit out of Auburn (Ala.) Loachapoka, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 27 overall prospect in the state, the No. 67 cornerback in the class and the No. 674 overall prospect in the class.

Hart wasn’t the only portal news for Auburn this month. Head coach Hugh Freeze addressed whether or not the team would pursue a quarterback even with Jackson Arnold and Deuce Knight on the roster.

“You know, that’s a, that is the – we have, have been discussing that every personnel meeting because I think the game is, uh, changing,” said Freeze. “You know, I haven’t heard the latest on the settlement but it, um, it’s going to be difficult to – you’re going to have to model it after an NFL roster, I think, eventually and that lends to, do we go with three and, and use the extra on a big somewhere, whether it be O-line or D-line.”

“We haven’t made that final determination yet and, you know, some of it will probably depend on what’s available. I think it’s probably going to be a pretty hard sell, um, maybe, you know, so that, that’s, that’s something we’re still determining,” Freeze said. “But, the positions? You never will turn down, um, interior D-linemen or pass rusher, um, or some guys with experience. I really like our young linebackers. Could we use one that has some experience, if ones available? Probably so. And, um, never turn down a great cover guy either.”
