AUBURN — Colorado transfer and former Alabama defensive back Jahquez Robinson has signed with Auburn football.
The Tigers announced the acquisition of Robinson on Friday. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound Robinson began his collegiate career with three seasons at Alabama before transferring to Colorado ahead of the 2023 campaign.
Robinson was a four-star recruit in the Class of 2020, rated by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 285 overall player and the No. 21 cornerback in the nation. He was recruited by position coach Charles Kelly, who went to Colorado in 2023 − Robinson followed him − before joining the Auburn staff in January.
The addition of Robinson gives the Tigers another piece in the secondary, which lost three players to the NFL Draft this offseason in Jaylin Simpson, DJ James and Nehemiah Pritchett. Zion Puckett also moved on and participated in rookie mini camp with the New York Jets.
Robinson has two years of eligibility remaining.
