Auburn hosted its first tight end of the transfer window this week.

One from a fellow SEC program.

Kentucky transfer Khamari Anderson made the trip to the Plains this week, arriving Friday and departing Saturday for an official visit.

"Oh, it's been exciting," Anderson said. "Just getting to come down here and see the place. Hearing all about it, it's been a pleasure for sure."

Anderson transferred out of Lexington following two seasons with the Wildcats. During those two seasons, he recorded six catches for 40 yards. Visiting Auburn and seeing how the Tigers used Rivaldo Fairweather during his time on the Plains was something he liked about the program.

"It's amazing," Anderson said. "It's different in person. How they utilized [Fairweather] last year and how they plan to utilize me. It's something to see. Crazy."

He also offered his thoughts on tight ends coach Ben Aigamaia.

"He's a good guy," Anderson said. "He's a personable guy. He's down to earth. His faith, it's really exciting to me. Just to know he's a guy of great faith."

Head coach Hugh Freeze also touched on faith, which was the highlight of the visit for Anderson.

"He recited a Bible verse to me," Anderson said. "It really touched my heart."

Anderson also has a history with new Auburn quarterback Jackson Arnold.

"That's exciting," Anderson said. "Jackson was actually my quarterback in the U.A. All-American game."

Anderson said he plans to visit Arizona State and Colorado, will weigh his options and make a decision. What will be the most important factors in his decision?

"Good people," Anderson said. "Good faith-based community. And just a good situation where I'm being utilized."
