Cunningham is scheduled to make his second visit to Auburn this month. The return of Keionte Scott and Tyler Scott, despite the changes in the coaching staff and the departure of Wesley McGriff, marks a significant development for Auburn’s defensive backs.
Facing the prospect of moving on due to the staff changes, both Keionte Scott and Tyler Scott ultimately chose to stay with the Tigers. This decision holds immense importance for the current and future strength of Auburn’s secondary.
Keionte Scott, a team leader, is poised to play a crucial role in guiding a young group in the upcoming 2024 season.
Hindered by an injury that prevented him from reaching full speed last season, this offseason becomes pivotal for Keionte as he transitions back into the cornerback position.
Meanwhile, Tyler Scott, a promising asset to Auburn’s secondary, brings versatility to the Tigers with his size. Standing at 6-1 and weighing 193 pounds, Scott showcased his abilities in five games at cornerback during the past season and also demonstrated his skills at the nickel position during bowl practices.
With his adept coverage skills, Tyler Scott emerges as a player capable of contributing in various positions, presenting a valuable asset to the Auburn secondary in the upcoming season.
As Auburn looks to fill the void left by key players such as D.J. James, Nehemiah Pritchett, Jaylin Simpson, and D.J. James the decision of Keionte Scott and Tyler Scott to stay signals a positive outlook for the team’s defensive backfield.
Their presence and contributions will play a crucial role in shaping the strength and effectiveness of Auburn’s secondary unit for the challenges that lie ahead.
