Junior kicker Ian Vachon, who became a hero in Auburn football’s upset win over Texas A&M last season, has announced his decision to enter the transfer portal. Vachon made the announcement on social media on Wednesday after spending one season with the Tigers. He initially walked on at Auburn after transferring from Birmingham Southern due to the school’s closure.
Vachon started last season as a backup but had the opportunity to showcase his skills when the starting kicker Alex McPherson fell ill. Vachon started the final three games of the regular season and made a crucial field goal against Texas A&M to send the game into overtime.
However, the kicker room at Auburn became more competitive in the offseason with McPherson’s return from surgery and the addition of transfer Connor Gibbs from Southern Miss. With Vachon’s departure, McPherson, McGough, Gibbs, and Charley Schwinger remain on the roster.
Peter Rauterkus, who covers Auburn sports for AL.com, shared the news of Vachon’s transfer. Fans can follow him on social media or reach out via email for more updates. Vachon’s decision to enter the transfer portal marks a new chapter in his football career, and fans will be eager to see where his talents take him next.
