Auburn OL EJ Harris plans to enter NCAA Transfer Portal

Auburn offensive lineman EJ Harris plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, per On3’s Hayes Fawcett. Harris has spent three seasons with the Tigers but redshirted his true freshman season.

Harris has seen limited action with the Tigers. He was a backup guard this season and made three appearances in the 2023 campaign. Harris did not play in 2022, his first season at Auburn.

EJ Harris played high school football at Auburn High (AL), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 384 overall player and No. 20 offensive tackle in the 2022 recruiting cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Tyler Booker sends statement to Demarcus Riddick after Iron Bowl

On Nov. 25, Auburn freshman Demarcus Riddick went off-script. Ahead of Auburn’s showdown against Alabama in the Iron Bowl, Riddick made several bold criticisms about Crimson Tide stars Ryan Williams and Jalen Milroe.

“Ryan Williams is Ryan Williams,” Riddick said. “Yeah he’s electric, all this and that. In my eyes, he ain’t really nobody to me. Ryan Williams is himself. He ain’t no big time player to me.”

Riddick didn’t stop there, doubling down on the trash talk.

“He is a good quarterback,” Riddick said of Jalen Milroe, per BamaCentral‘s Katie Windham. “He’s fast, but I mean, he’s not faster than me. He will not get out of that box this week.”

Riddick’s words came back to bite him this weekend when Alabama dominated Auburn 28-14. In the win, Williams tallied three catches for 53 yards. However, the true star of the show was Milroe, who exploded for 104 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 17 carries.

Additionally, Milroe completed 18-of-his-24 pass attempts for 256 yards. During an appearance on The Next Round on Monday, Alabama offensive lineman Tyler Booker reflected on how Riddick’s comments motivated the Crimson Tide.

“Honestly, we all just laughed at it because we knew that he was going to have to see us eventually,” Booker said. “He did and I think Ryan showed how special he was and Jalen showed how fast he was. So, I think he’s going to have to go through a little bit of media training this offseason.”
