Auburn football adds Arizona safety Jack Luttrell from transfer portal

The Auburn Tigers are adding some much-needed talent to their secondary. On Sunday, 247Sports’ Christian Clemente reported that Auburn had secured a commitment from Arizona transfer safety Jack Luttrell, which gives them 31 pickups from the transfer portal.

Auburn adds Luttrell, who showed in 2024 the kind of player he can be in his first season. That year, he made 39 tackles and intercepted three passes. Expectations were expected to be high for Luttrell in 2025, but injuries seemed to derail his season. He only appeared in two games for the Wildcats, collecting three tackles and an interception. His best game with Arizona came in a 56-12 loss to UCF in 2024. In that game, Luttrell had 14 tackles, including 12 solo tackles. He also had two interceptions that season against Colorado, taking on Shedeur Sanders.

Luttrell originally committed to the Tennessee Volunteers as part of the 2023 recruiting class. He was a three-star player out of Moultrie, Georgia, where he was a top 100 player in the state. He would transfer to Arizona after the 2023 season.

Auburn’s pass defense in 2025 ranked No. 11 in the SEC and saw some turnover. Auburn lost players like Jay Crawford (Ole Miss), Kayin Lee (Tennessee) and Kensley Louidor-Faustin (Missouri) to the transfer portal. They have, however, added five players in the secondary so far. Auburn signed two safeties, Wayne Henry and Shadrick Toodle Jr. in the 2026 recruiting class. Eric Winters also returns for his second season with the Auburn Tigers.
