Safety Transfer Jerrin Thompson Could Benefit Auburn For Years to Come

Safety Jerrin Thompson will play only one season at Auburn, but his impact could last much longer.

The average American football fan views safety as the last line of defense. While true, it’s an oversimplistic summary of the position, as it undervalues the versatility and impact of a player like Jerrin Thompson.

Unless you're Troy Polamalu, freelancing can often lead to big plays for the offense.Off the Field Leadership Role With his transfer to Auburn, Thompson will bring a wealth of experience to the field. During his four seasons at Texas, he started 31 games, bringing in 5 interceptions.

Kayin Lee is, by far, the top underclassmen defensive back at Auburn. The team also has six other reserve freshmen and sophomores that will be looking to develop with film study and position meetings accompanied with the Texas transfer.At Texas, Thompson faced Kalen Deboer and the Washington Huskies twice in the last two seasons. That could pay significant dividends for the Auburn defense this season.
