Auburn Football: Defensive Backs Ready for 2024 Season

Key Returners and Impact Transfers

Tyler Scott's Return Bolsters Secondary

Auburn's defensive backs will look to build on a solid 2023 season, led by returning starter James. With 75 tackles, 45 tackles for loss, three interceptions, and 21 passes defended in the past two years, James is a key piece of the Auburn defense.

The Tigers have also added some notable incoming freshmen to the secondary. Cameron Coleman, ESPN's No. 5 overall recruit in the 2024 class, and top-60 prospect Perry will bring talent and depth to the unit.

Transfer Portal Addition KeAndre Lambert-Smith Poised to Make Impact

Auburn's newest defensive weapon, KeAndre Lambert-Smith, has drawn attention as the top-rated wide receiver in the nation. His arrival brings a proven pass-catching threat to the offense and will provide a boost to the Tigers' scoring ability.
