Help On The Way… Defense Gets a New Addition

As was reported here last evening  – Auburn has landed some help in the defensive backfield. Blake Countess, Defensive back out of Michigan, is transferring to Auburn and is looking to be eligible right away and compete for immediate playing time.

This is a big boost to a depleted secondary that has lost multiple players as of late via transfers or injury. 

It sounds like Blake made his decision after a recent visit to The Plains over Arizona and other potential stops in Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. 

I’m not fully clear with why he made this decision to transfer but we do know that new Michigan Head Coach Jim Harbaugh recently welcomed a defensive back transfer from Stanford.
