Former Georgia Tech wide receiver Eric Singleton Jr. is transferring to Auburn

Former Georgia Tech wide receiver Eric Singleton Jr. has found his new home. After announcing two weeks ago that he would enter the transfer portal, Singleton will play at Auburn. There were reportedly a number of schools in the mix for Singleton Jr., including Ole Miss, Georgia, Miami and LSU, but Auburn will play where he will play. The Tigers seemed to be gaining some momentum after it looked like Ole Miss might be the school to beat. The Rebels got a 247Sports Crystal Ball prediction to sign Singleton last week, but it’s Auburn.

Singleton Jr. led all freshmen (true or redshirt) nationally with 64.2 receiving yards per game and ranks second nationally among true freshmen with six touchdown receptions in 2023. His 706 receiving yards and six touchdown catches both ranked in the top 10 overall in the ACC, while his six TD receptions were just one shy of the Georgia Tech freshman record of seven held by Calvin Johnson (2004) and Ahmarean Brown (2019).

Singleton Jr. was in the running for Offensive Rookie of the Year honors and finished second. NC State wide receiver Kevin “KC” Concepcion was named rookie of the year.

Last season, Singleton caught 56 ​​passes for 754 yards and three touchdowns. He was also an effective runner, rushing for 131 yards on 21 carries and one touchdown. He is a dynamic receiver with incredible speed and will not be easy to replace on offense. It should be noted that Singleton could change his mind and return to Georgia Tech, but for now he will be one of the most sought-after players in the transfer portal. According to PFF (Pro Football Focus), Singleton played 642 snaps and finished with a 73.7 grade on offense, the ninth-best grade on Georgia Tech’s offense

It is currently expected that Georiga Tech will lose four receivers from last year’s team. Leo Blackburn announced he will enter the transfer portal while Chase Lane and Abdul Janneh are ineligible. Singelton was expected to be one of Georgia Tech’s best playmakers in 2025, and the duo of him and Malik Rutherford would have been one of the best in the ACC.
