K.J. Britt has officially played his last game at Auburn.
The senior standout defender shared a note Thursday night announcing his plans for the rest of the season and 2021. Britt shared that he is now focused on the Senior Bowl and the 2021 NFL Draft. (All seniors have the option of returning for another season of college football in 2021 without counting against a team’s 85 scholarship limit.)
“As I have now played my last game at Auburn, I would like to say goodbye and thank you,” Britt wrote in a note posted to his Twitter account. “It has been an incredible 4 years as an Auburn Tiger. Although my Senior season was cut short due to injury, I have nothing but fond memories and gratitude from my time at Auburn.
“I would like to thank Coach Malzahn and his staff for helping mold me into the player I am today! I also want to thank Coach Travis Williams for believing in me before I believed in myself and showing me what it takes to be a complete Auburn Man. As a team Captain, I wish I could have done more this season. Thanks to all the great Auburn fans. And of course, I want to thank my family, especially my wonderful parents Kenney and Tonia. I will now turn my attention to the Senior Bowl and the NFL Draft but will always keep Auburn near and dear to my heart.
“War Eagle!
Playing in Auburn’s first two games, Britt recorded 23 total tackles this season, including a TFL.
