Auburn transfer cornerback Jay Crawford has found a new home in the SEC. He’s leaving The Plains for The Grove.
Crawford told Hayes Fawcett of On3 that he has committed to transfer to Ole Miss.
Out of Lilburn (Georgia) Parkview High School, Crawford was a 4-star prospect. He picked up 33 scholarship offers in his recruitment, electing to sign with Auburn. Ole Miss was among the 33 scholarship offers, but not one of the 4 programs to host Crawford for an official visit in his original recruitment.
Crawford made an immediate impact in his first season at Auburn, making the SEC All-Freshman Team and receiving True Freshman All-America recognition from On3. He started 8 games in his debut season, logging 15 total tackles, including 13 solo stops. In coverage, Crawford posted 7 pass breakups and 1 interception as a true freshman.
This past season, Crawford started 10 times in 11 appearances. He once again posted 15 total tackles, this time with 11 solo stops and his first TFL. Crawford had 5 passes defended, including 1 pick, as a sophomore.
Crawford was considered one of the top cornerbacks in the portal upon entry, making him a big get for Pete Golding.
