Auburn’s defensive depth took a hit Thursday as it was announced Marlon Character and Antwuan Jackson have chosen to transfer.
Character, a former 3-star recruit at safety played a position of need for the Tigers, but also a position where the starters are pretty set in stone. It wasn’t likely he was going to be challenging for the starting job this season.
Jackson, a former four star recruit at defensive end played on the second team during the A-day game and recorded a sack. He appears to be seeking a fresh start after a disappointing 2016 season.
