Former Auburn safety heading to Miami Dolphins on waivers

The Miami Dolphins selected former Auburn DB Noah Igbinoghene in Round 1 of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Now, they’ve announced they’re pairing him with one of his former Tiger teammates after a successful waiver claim.

As you can see below, the Dolphins announced on Twitter on Saturday that they had been awarded the rights to safety Jeremiah Dinson:

Dinson recorded 88 tackles (4.5 for a loss), 2 sacks and 2 interceptions for Auburn in 2019. He went undrafted in the 2020 draft. He was recently released by the Detroit Lions.

Per Auburn reporter Josh Vitale, that makes 5 former Auburn DBs on Florida’s 3 NFL teams. It could have been 6 if the Dolphins didn’t waive Javaris Davis earlier this month:

Dolphins waived Javaris Davis earlier this month, but they went right back to the Auburn well and added Jeremiah Dinson.

So that's 5 former Tigers DBs in Florida — Dinson and Noah Igbinoghene (Miami); Carlton Davis and Jamel Dean (Tampa Bay); and Daniel Thomas (Jacksonville). https://t.co/5ihD4WAWAv
