AUBURN — The first two transfer portal additions of Auburn football’s spring came Sunday, with the program announcing its signing of former Maryland linebacker Caleb Wheatland.
Liberty defensive line transfer Jay Hardy announced his commitment earlier in the day. A rising senior, Wheatland is expected to have one season of eligibility remaining.

Listed as a top-10 transfer prospect at his position, Wheatland played three productive seasons for the Terrapins, logging 100 total tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks, 3 pass breakups and a fumble recovery in 35 games.
A consensus three-star recruit out of high school, Wheatland chose Maryland over offers from Kent State, Liberty, Old Dominion, UMass and Utah State, among others.
Wheatland becomes the eighth scholarship linebacker on Auburn’s roster, and his senior status was needed as the Tigers had just one other linebacker, Robert Woodyard Jr., listed as an upperclassman.
