Former USF wide receiver Jeremiah Koger signs with Auburn

Former USF wide receiver Jeremiah Koger has signed with the Auburn Tigers, according to On3’s Pete Nakos. Koger is just the latest player new head coach Alex Golesh has brought with him from USF. Some new weapons were needed on the Plains and Koger certainly provides a spark.

Per the On3 Industry Transfer Portal Rankings, Koger is a three-star prospect. He ranks as the No. 111 overall player to enter this cycle. Koger slots in at No. 24 when just comparing him to other wide receivers currently on the open market.

As for the on-field production, plenty was there for Koger during the 2025 season. Thirteen games played resulted in 38 receptions for 597 yards and eight touchdowns. Koger’s high point came in November in a massive game against Navy, hauling in nine passes for 112 yards and a touchdown. Auburn will be hoping for similar performances moving forward.

Given no redshirt was taken last year, three years of eligibility remain for Koger. Golesh is bringing a lot of his pieces from USF, both experienced players and those with plenty of time remaining in college, over to Auburn. Koger might have a chance to be up there with the best.

Looking at his high school recruitment, Koger played at Perry Hall (MD) St. Frances Academy, where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 1,253 overall recruit in the 2025 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Koger was a one-time Wake Forest commit and had multiple ACC programs pursuing him. Five others from the conference, plus the in-state Maryland Terrapins, extended scholarships at one point. USF found a way to win the race for his signature, immediately seeing the dividends.

Auburn undergoing turnover at wide receiver this offseason

Koger makes it three wide receivers who have committed to Auburn this cycle already. All of them were previously at USF with the goal of continuing to play under Golesh. Some continutity, even if a new uniform is involved, might be needed for the Tigers.

Multiple big-name WRs decided to leave once Hugh Freeze was fired. Cam Coleman and Malcolm Simmons are among the most notable.

Auburn does not yet officially have a quarterback in the portal class. However, whoever does wind up in the mix, they will have plenty of options available thanks to early portal recruiting efforts.
