Spring practices have begun on the Plains in a much-anticipated sequel-season to the Hugh Freeze era. After a disappointing year that saw the Tigers lose the Iron Bowl in the final seconds and punt in a bowl game, plenty of new faces are set to compete on the Plains.

Here are the new jersey numbers of all nine transfers set to help Auburn improve on last year’s 8-4 season.
