Breaking: Auburn commits Former Tulane Player As first incoming defensive back.

Auburn football’s already strong cornerback group added a new member on Wednesday.

Rayshawn Pleasant, a former Tulane cornerback, announced his commitment to the Tigers via Instagram, marking Auburn’s first defensive back transfer of the spring portal period. His addition bolsters Auburn’s depth in the secondary following the departure of reserve corners JC Hart and Tyler Scott to the portal. Starting cornerbacks Jay Crawford and Kayin Lee are both returning, so Pleasant will likely compete for a spot in the rotation alongside players like Raion Strader and Blake Woodby.

Pleasant played two seasons at Tulane, contributing significantly for the Green Wave in 2024. He recorded 35 tackles, three pass breakups, and one interception last season, and is expected to have two years of eligibility remaining.
