How Michigan Transfer Blake Countess Answered Auburn's Call for Help

Every morning since the start of fall camp, Justin Garrett has watched his new roommate down an interesting beverage.

"He wakes up every morning and drinks a glass of pickle juice," the Auburn linebacker said Tuesday, per Ryan Black of Auburn Undercover. "That's the first time I had ever seen that."

Much like the pickle juice routine, Garrett's roommate—cornerback Blake Countess—is a relatively new sight for the Tigers this fall.

And the briny, green liquid is a fitting choice for a player who was brought in to help Auburn get out of the pickle it was in at defensive back.
