auburn4ever 1,266 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 How many years does Blake have left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTUmike 79 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 He has one year to play one. This would be a pretty big get for Auburn given the numbers at DB. Countess has a ton of experience at a position where experience is more transferable than DL, LB, or even S. He would immediately be squarely in the 2-deep, if not challenge for a starting CB position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUNavyNightmare 1 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Arizona football seems to be one of his interest. I seen an article from Arizona saying their biggest competition to land him is auburn. Could use the depth bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronCrazy 1,062 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Lyons transferred from Stanford to Michigan may be a reason for countess transferring. Lyons DEFINITELY will be starting at Michigan Really wish that we could have landed Lyons instead of Countess. We need the safety depth more than CB depth. But I would definitely take this kid.

ellitor 33,094 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 He is a graduate Senior eligible to play immediately. Auburn is in the mix. He was All Big Ten honorable mention last season so he would provide immediate depth @ CB if he were to choose AU. He was a 4* #10 CB in the nation out of high school Jeffrey Lee @JLeeAU21 · 15h15 hours ago UPDATE: Blake Countess will visit Auburn "sometime next week", according to a text message from Countess.
