Report: Auburn CB JD Rhym no longer with team
The Auburn secondary will enter the 2024 season depleted of experience, and one of its experienced members is no longer with the team.
According to a report from Auburn Undercover, cornerback JD Rhym is no longer with the program. The report by Nathan King shows that Rhym is expected to enter the transfer portal after being dismissed from the program last week.
Rhym sustained a leg injury, as well as a suspension, which limited him to play in three games last season. In two seasons on the Plains, he recorded 20 total tackles with one pass deflection and an interception. His lone interception came in Auburn’s 45-13 win over Samford on Sept. 16.
Rhym took part in 54 snaps this season according to Pro Football Focus, and graded out at 70.2, which ranks No. 13 on the team. He was one of the best-graded tacklers on the team by grading out at 80.9, which was fourth-highest on the team.
With the departure of Rhym, Auburn has eight cornerbacks on its’ spring roster. The headliners this season are Keionte Scott and Kayin Lee, who combined to record 62 tackles last season with 11 pass breakups.
