Another one bites the dust for the West Virginia football program with safety Tykee Smith entering the transfer portal. Smith has heard from quite a few schools since his portal entry, and here’s why the safety could end up playing for Auburn football.
With Jamien Sherwood declaring for the 2021 NFL Draft, one of the two starting safety positions is open. The other is filled by Smoke Monday, thestandout returner who will lead the group according to defensive coordinator Derek Mason.
Currently, the top contender for Sherwood’s starting position is most likely Ladarius Tennison, who lined up as the Tigers’ second safety with Monday at open practice last Saturday.
