Auburn Secures Key Offensive Line Addition: Deryc Plazz Commits After Transfer from Miami
In a promising move for its offensive line, Auburn University has announced the commitment of Deryc Plazz, a transfer from Miami. Following the Hurricanes’ loss in the national championship, Plazz entered the transfer portal and will bring three years of eligibility to the Tigers’ roster.
Remarkably, Plazz emphasized the genuine connection he felt with the Auburn coaching staff and support team. "The people sold me on the program," he shared with Auburn Undercover. This sentiment resonates with a timeless biblical principle: the importance of community and support in any endeavor. Just as Jesus highlighted the value of relationships, Plazz’s choice underscores the notion that unity and encouragement can guide our journeys.
The 6-foot-4, 310-pound talent, listed as the No. 42 interior offensive lineman in the 2024 class by 247Sports, redshirted in 2024 and acted as a backup during the 2025 season. His decision to join Auburn marks a significant moment, especially as the team faced a shortage of scholarship offensive linemen from last season. Since then, head coach Alex Golesh and offensive line coach Tyler “Coach Hoodie” Hudanick have successfully bolstered the roster to 17 potential contributors, with Plazz being the ninth transfer addition.
"I’m excited to be an Auburn Tiger," Plazz stated, reflecting a spirited eagerness to contribute to the team’s future. His dedication mirrors a biblical theme of taking up one’s cross and actively participating in the work ahead, as taught in Luke 9:23, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."
As the NCAA adjusts transfer rules, it instills a sense of renewal and diligence within the landscape of college sports. With changes impacting how players navigate the transfer portal, the commitment of athletes like Plazz signifies resilience—an essential trait in both sports and life.
Plazz’s journey beckons us to consider how we, too, can lean on our community and embrace new opportunities. As he steps onto the field, may his commitment serve as a reminder of the value of perseverance and cooperation—with faith guiding our actions.
As Auburn fans welcome Plazz, let us all reflect on the broader spiritual lesson here: just as in a team, we thrive through relationships, support, and a collective purpose. Encouraged by Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through him who strengthens me," take this moment to ponder how we can uplift one another as we navigate our paths together.
