Auburn’s rising CB with real starter upside
Blake Woodby enters 2026 as a sophomore cornerback at Auburn after appearing in 11 games in 2025, including work on special teams and in the defensive backfield, and he already looks like a player pushing for a bigger role. He was a top-100, top-15 cornerback recruit in the 2025 class, and scouting services highlighted an elite testing profile; at 5-foot-11 and around 180–185 pounds, he brings compact speed, competitiveness, and the kind of energy coaches love in a press-man corner. The fit? He’s a strong developmental add with real upside if Auburn wants physical, twitchy DBs who can grow into snaps.
