Auburn sophomore linebacker Khari Harding, a former three-star prospect out of Edmond, Okla., has transferred to Tulsa, coach Philip Montgomery announced Wednesday. He will have two seasons of eligibility remaining for the Golden Hurricanes.
Auburn has considerable depth at the position next season after rising seniors Cassanova McKinzy and Kris Frost decided to skip the NFL Draft in favor of returning for their final campaigns with defensive coordinator Will Muschamp.
Harding’s yearning to play closer to home is a primary reason for his decision:
