AUBURN — Alex Golesh has found another notable piece for the front line of his first Auburn football offense, as James Madison offensive lineman Joseph Simmons signed with the Tigers on Friday, Jan. 9, a source tells the Montgomery Advertiser.

Simmons is the 16th addition to Auburn‘s transfer class, and he’s the second offensive lineman, joining Michigan State transfer Stanton Ramil. Simmons started every game at left tackle for the Dukes in 2025, and he gave up three sacks in 355 opportunities, according to Pro Football Focus.
