The Auburn Tigers have made a last-minute addition to their roster, signing former Troy wide receiver Tray Taylor. He is already listed on their online roster.
Taylor recently received a fifth year of eligibility and is another veteran presence for first-year head coach Alex Golesh. He was a contributor at Troy last year, catching 30 passes for 499 yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed for 55 yards and another touchdown on 10 carries.
He started his career at Tyler Junior College, spending two years at the JUCO level before joining the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers ahead of the 2024 season. He was named a Second-Team JUCO All-American as a sophomore after leading Tyler with 39 catches for 850 yards and nine touchdowns in 2023.
Taylor caught 18 passes for 262 yards and one touchdown in his only season at Coastal Carolina. He also carried the ball six times for 58 yards. He handled punt and kick return duties for the Chanticleers as well, averaging 13.5 yards per return on punts and 14.1 yards on kickoffs.
While he returned just one punt last season at Troy, he could also factor in the return game at Auburn. He is listed at 5-foot-6, 150 pounds and is from Shreveport, Louisiana.
