Confirmed: Auburn Tigers Are Bringing Him Back
The Auburn Tigers have made a significant move to reinforce their roster for the 2025 season by re-signing standout safety Caleb Wooden. Wooden, who has been a key contributor to Auburn’s defense over the past three seasons, announced his return to the Tigers after entering the NCAA transfer portal earlier this year. His decision to stay in the SEC and reunite with former Auburn assistant coaches Travis Williams and Marcus Woodson at Arkansas was a notable development. However, Wooden has now opted to remain with Auburn, bolstering the team’s secondary for the upcoming season.
During his tenure at Auburn, Wooden has appeared in 25 games, starting eight, and has accumulated 41 tackles, two interceptions, and two pass breakups. His experience and leadership are expected to play a crucial role in Auburn’s defensive schemes this season. With Wooden’s return, the Tigers’ safety unit gains both depth and stability, enhancing their prospects for a successful 2025 campaign.
This move reflects Auburn’s commitment to retaining experienced talent and building a cohesive defensive unit as they prepare for the challenges of the upcoming season.
