Auburn football lost another play to the transfer portal on Tuesday, albeit a player it already expected to lose. Keionte Scott entered the transfer portal, taking advantage of the blanket waiver granting an additional year of eligibility for current NCAA Division I senior athletes who previously spent one season in junior college or at an NAIA school.

As the Auburn Tigers are adding players via recruiting and the transfer portal some attrition is inevitable including the latest defensive back.

This season was another disappointing one for Hugh Freeze and the Auburn football team. The Tigers finished this season with a 5-7 record, and that was not good enough for a bowl game as six wins is needed.

Auburn redshirt freshman safety C.J. Johnson has become the latest Tiger to enter the transfer portal, according to multiple reports. Christian Clemente of 247Sports was first to report the news. In his two years with the Tigers, Johnson saw no in game action.

The Auburn Tigers lose one of their most experienced defensive backs to the transfer portal as Keionte Scott has thrown his hat into the transfer ring.
