Alex Golesh 's first eight months as Auburn football 's head coach will be imperative to the success of his first season at the helm, but his first month hasn't done him many favors.

With a need for experience in the trenches, Auburn football got a second considerable pickup Monday, Jan. 12, signing South Florida transfer Cole Best, a source confirmed to the Montgomery Advertiser.

Fowler-Nicolosi played 31 career games with the Rams and was the starter for parts of three seasons before leaving the program during the 2025 season.
