Auburn Parts Ways with Star Linebacker Xavier Atkins as He Prepares to Enter Transfer Portal

Auburn has dismissed All-American linebacker Xavier Atkins, who was suspended for the recent win against Georgia.

Coach Alex Golesh confirmed the player will not be available for the upcoming game and that the team will revisit the situation next week. Atkins posted on social media that he is focusing on his health and academics before transferring. The dismissal leaves Auburn to rely on returning linebacker De'Marcus Riddick, who is recovering from a shoulder injury, to fill the void left by Atkins' departure.

Fe, Fire, and the Quest for an Elite QB at Auburn

Coach Alex Golesh plants a fiery two-letter mantra behind his Auburn desk — Fe, short for a profane phrase — to symbolize an elite-and-urgent approach as he rebuilds a Tigers program that hasn’t had a winning season since 2020. The centerpiece is elite quarterback play, with Byrum Brown, the USF transfer who thrives in Golesh’s up-tempo attack, stepping in alongside center Cole Best to jump-start a fast, run-first offense that can strike deep when defenses tire. Auburn’s path is as much about roster and NIL dynamics as it is about quarterback development, with Golesh stressing that elite signal-callers are the difference makers in modern college football. The piece links Auburn’s revival to Golesh’s history of turning offenses around, the impact of Brown’s toughness, and the persistent quest to reclaim the program’s past highs through sustained quarterback excellence.
