Griffin King is tackled by Coynis Miller Jr and T.D. Moultry. Auburn football scrimmage 2 on Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2018 in Auburn, Ala.

Auburn reserve receiver Griffin King has entered his name in the NCAA transfer portal, according to Wednesday reports from 247Sports and AL.com.

King, who is listed as a senior on Auburn's official roster and participated in Senior Day festivities this season, will have one year of eligibility remaining should another program bring him in. He shed his walk-on status prior to the 2017 season, but Auburn is not required to retain his scholarship now that his name is in the portal.

An Atlanta product, King has three receptions in his Auburn career for 15 yards. He primarily worked as a special-teamer, forcing a fumble against Louisiana-Monroe in 2017. 

King becomes the third Tiger to add his name to the NCAA transfer database. Backup defensive lineman Jaunta'vius Johnson was picked up by Colorado as a grad transfer last week, and backup receiver James Owen Moss' name has reportedly been in the portal since last week.
