Transfer from Auburn Richard Jibunor motivated to do well at Troy

The Nigerian native transferred from Auburn, sat out all of last season and is eager to make plays for the Troy defense at the bandit or edge rusher position.

“The first thing that jumps out to me about Richard is he’s extremely hard working. He’s extremely motivated to be as good as he can be,” Lindsey said after Troy’s fourth spring practice on Tuesday morning. “He’s a guy that came here last year and sat out an entire year.”

He didn’t play in games, but the redshirt sophomore flashed his raw talent daily.

Jibunor is 6-foot-3 and looks bigger and stronger than last year’s listed 215 pounds.
