Four-star cornerback Austin Ausberry signs with Auburn

Man, another big one.

Despite numerous connections to LSU, Auburn was able to fend off the Bayou Bengals and sign four-star cornerback Austin Ausberry.

Ausberry, who is Baton Rouge, Louisiana, committed to Auburn on Monday and officially signed with them today.

The 6-foot, 195-pound Ausberry is ranked as the No. 22 cornerback and No. 177 overall recruit in the 247Sports Composite ranking.

Ausberry is a great fit in Derek Mason’s secondary, he has the ability to play corner but has the tackling ability to play safety. This versatility is becoming more and more important in college football as offences seek to find a mismatch in the passing game and exploit it.

This versatility will add even more depth to the secondary, a position group that requires plenty of depth.
