Tray Taylor’s Late Arrival at Auburn | Auburn Tigers Football News

Auburn’s late addition of wide receiver Tray Taylor from Troy could be a savvy move, thanks to a new eligibility rule letting 2022 players play a fifth year. Taylor, who caught 30 passes for nearly 500 yards and 3 TDs last season at Troy, also showed explosive potential at Coastal Carolina and Tyler Junior College, earning second-team JUCO All-American honors in 2023. With Auburn’s receiver corps already stacked, Taylor’s path to snaps may be narrow—but his value could skyrocket on special teams, where his punt and kickoff return experience, plus backfield versatility, could fill a critical gap left by Rayshawn Pleasant’s shift to defense. Even if he doesn’t start as a receiver, Taylor’s speed and playmaking could make him a key contributor off the field.
