The 2026 football season for the Auburn Tigers is on the horizon. As we anticipate the start of the season, let's introduce you to a key member of the 2026 roster.
The Tigers welcomed sophomore transfer wide receiver Christian Neptune out of South Florida this past spring. He played in 11 games for the Bulls and started in four of them. He amassed over 300 yards and 38 catches as a true freshman in a loaded USF wide receiver room.
Now at Auburn, he followed his head coach, Alex Golesh, to the Plains to build back up the Tigers' football program. His speed and athleticism make him a threat with the ball in his hands.
Coming out of Tate Senior High in Cantonment, Florida, 247Sports rated him as a three-star prospect and No. 82 best player in the state. His junior senior he totaled over 800 yards and seven touchdowns.
