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.
Auburn defensive lineman Saint Farrior shares a similar story to fellow lineman Cody Sigler. Like Sigler, Farrior received little attention during the high school recruiting process, transferred to a Sun Belt program after originally signing with a lower-level program, and made his way to Auburn as an upperclassman.
Farrior joins Auburn's roster after spending last season at Appalachian State, and the two years prior at Hampton. He played in just 173 snaps over 14 games in his two seasons with Hampton before trying his luck with another program. The decision to transfer worked for him
as he participated in 261 snaps over 13 games with Appalachian State in 2025, a year when Farrior would triple his career total in tackles. His best game during his time as a Mountaineer came against Marshall on Nov. 22, when he logged a career-high five tackles and his first career sack.
He will spend the 2026 season as an Auburn Tiger, where he hopes to see his career continue to flourish. He will work to enter a strong defensive line rotation headlined by Chris Murray. As one of the eldest members of the position group, Farrior has a steady chance of making an impact on the Plains.
