Auburn football: Noah Igbinoghene emerging as star at corner, kick returner

On Monday, the SEC announced that he is the Special Teams Player of the Week. Someone from Auburn was going to win that award this week. The SEC had multiple Auburn players to choose from the game Saturday. No one officially will say it, but his closest competition likely came from teammate Ryan Davis, who averaged 48.0 yards on two punt returns, and Jordyn Peters, who blocked a punt and disrupted another one.

He returned a kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown Saturday against Arkansas. He started right, then cut left between a couple of Razorbacks and once he hit his stride, no one was catching him.
