Asante may be most remembered for the play when he returned a fumble for a touchdown against Texas A&M when Jimbo Fisher was caught on the field during the play.
The 2023 season was a breakout campaign for Asante, who started his career at North Carolina, as he appeared in 37 games over 3 seasons and made 62 tackles, a pass deflection and a forced fumble. He transferred to Auburn in January 2022.
Asante is a big addition for the Auburn defense in 2024.
