Auburn Adds Versatile Cornerback Scrap Richardson

0:00On March 12th, Auburn Tigers have added some needed depth to their cornerback room, by signing former Notre Dame Commit Scrap Richardson through the transfer portal. This three-star athlete brings versatility from playing running back, quarterback, and even wide receiver during his time with the Irish. His player page on the Auburn Football website now lists him officially as a cornerback. Richardson's move comes at a perfect time for the Tigers, who lost four key corners, Jake Crawford, Kayn Lee, Donovan Star, and Rayon Strader to the one-of-then portal. That leaves Auburn thin on experience, with only two seniors anchoring the group. Ray Sean Pleasant from Tulane and Andre Jordan Jr. from UCLA. Pleasant saw a real action last season on defense, and special teams, while Jordan should lead the boundary corners heading into next year. Other notable additions include, Camarita from Chattanooga, Shamar Arnu from Florida State, who started four games, and guys like Blake Woodby and Gavin Jenkins, who have some

1:01game reps under their belts. Even without prior corner experience, Richardson's 6-foot frame and 190 pounds make him a prototypical boundary fit. His athleticism could spark a real competition for spots lower on the depth chart. With young talent pushing for time and Richardson developing fast, Auburn's secondary looks poised for growth as they build toward a stronger defense.
