Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin told reporters last week that McCreary was one of multiple Tiger players opting out of the bowl game.
A senior, McCreary recorded 14 pass breakups and 2 interceptions, including a pick-6, this season. McCreary’s 16 passes defended and 14 PBUs are most among SEC defenders in 2021. He also logged 49 tackles, including 2 for loss and a sack.
A Mobile native, McCreary joined Auburn in 2018 out of Williamson. He looks to have a bright future playing on Sundays.
