Ausberry committed to Auburn on Dec. 13, 2021 and signed his letter of intent a couple of days later. He considered other SEC schools like Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, LSU and Kentucky before choosing the Tigers. In his 2 seasons with Auburn, Ausberry recorded just two tackles.
Prior to his time with the Tigers, Ausberry was a 3-star recruit, according to 247Sports. The 6-foot defensive back was picked up by Auburn out of University Laboratory School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Auburn went 6-6 during the regular season. After a 3-0 start to the season, Tigers lost 4 straight then went on a 3-game win streak. Auburn proceeded to drop its final 2 games of the regular season, including a 27-24 heartbreaker to Alabama in the annual Iron Bowl on Nov. 25.
Despite a roller coaster season, Auburn became bowl eligible. The team is scheduled to face Maryland in the Music City Bowl on Dec. 30 at 2 pm ET on ABC.
