Roger McCreary was one of the best cornerbacks in college football in 2021.
ESPN confirmed it by giving McCreary All-American honors. The other corner was Cincinnati’s Ahmad Gardner.
ESPN said the following about the All-American cornerback.
McCreary committed to South Alabama in high school because he believed it was going to be the best scholarship offer he would get. Auburn’s coaches finally came around to offering him after his senior season, and he has developed into one of the best lockdown cornerbacks in the country. This season, he had 49 tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack, two interceptions and 14 pass breakups. McShay ranks him as the No. 13 prospect overall and No. 2 cornerback, behind LSU’s Derek Stingley Jr.
He is currently projected as a first-round pick by most NFL draft experts.
