As of Tuesday, the transfer portal is once again open for business for college football players. The portal will remain open for 14 days for undergraduate transfers and 15 days for those looking to transfer as graduate students.

Ainslie Reports: Auburn CB Tyler Scott backpedals away from transfer portal, will return to The Plain

After reportedly beginning the process to enter his name into the transfer portal Wednesday, Auburn cornerback Tyler Scott has reportedly changed his mind.

Scott, who is set to be a redshirt freshman in 2024, saw limited action in his first season on The Plains as he appeared in five games and totaled just two tackles.

However, during Auburn's recent spring camp, Scott was among those who saw their stock rise with what Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze called a "really solid camp." Kayin Lee, another young cornerback in Auburn's secondary, told reporters in March that he'd seen "a lot of growth" from Scott.
