Auburn football’s already talented cornerback room added another piece on Wednesday.
Former Tulane corner Rayshawn Pleasant announced his commitment to the Tigers on Instagram, becoming Auburn’s first incoming defensive back transfer of the spring portal window.
His commitment helps with Auburn’s numbers in the secondary after it lost reserve corners JC Hart and Tyler Scott to the portal. Starting corners Jay Crawford and Kayin Lee are still returning, meaning Pleasant will likely battle for a rotation spot with players like Raion Strader and Blake Woodby.
Pleasant spent two seasons at Tulane, playing a significant role for the Green Wave in 2024. He made 35 tackles, three pass deflections and one interception last season. He’s expected to have two years of eligibility remaining.
Pleasant was also dangerous in the return game, returning two kickoffs for touchdowns in 2024 and tallying 449 yards on 13 kick returns.
With Pleasant’s addition, Auburn has added four scholarship players out of the portal this spring. The three others all play up front, including former Maryland linebacker Caleb Wheatland and defensive linemen James Ash and Jay Hardy.
