In a stunning turn of events in the college football transfer landscape, Auburn’s top wide receiver, Eric Singleton Jr., has officially announced his resignation from the Tigers program and his commitment to join the Tennessee Volunteers.
Sources close to Singleton Jr. confirmed that the star receiver, who had grown increasingly frustrated with his role in Auburn’s offense, made the difficult decision after weeks of deliberation. “I gave it everything at Auburn, but sometimes a fresh start is needed to take your game to the next level,” Singleton Jr. shared on social media late Tuesday.
Singleton Jr., who led the Tigers in receptions and receiving yards last season, was widely regarded as one of the SEC’s most dynamic playmakers. His speed, route-running precision, and ability to make contested catches earned him a reputation as one of the top WR talents in the country. However, Auburn’s inconsistent passing attack and coaching transitions contributed to Singleton’s dissatisfaction.
Tennessee, on the other hand, has been building an explosive offense under head coach Josh Heupel. The Volunteers are known for their up-tempo scheme, one that could perfectly fit Singleton Jr.’s skill set. “Tennessee runs an offense that showcases receivers,” a source from Singleton’s camp said. “Eric wanted a system where he could thrive and be more involved — Tennessee provides that opportunity.”
The move comes as a major boost for the Volunteers, who are retooling their wide receiver room following offseason departures. Adding a player of Singleton Jr.’s caliber not only enhances Tennessee’s 2025 outlook but also sends a message to the rest of the SEC that the Vols are serious about competing at the highest level.
As for Auburn, losing their No. 1 receiver leaves a significant void on offense. The Tigers’ coaching staff will now look to younger talent and incoming transfers to fill Singleton Jr.’s shoes as they prepare for the fall.
Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how Singleton Jr. adapts to his new environment in Knoxville. With fall camp approaching, Tennessee faithful are eager to see what their newest star WR can bring to Rocky Top.
