Auburn safety Marquise Gilbert enters NCAA transfer portal

Auburn safety Marquise Gilbert has entered the transfer portal, On3 has learned.

Gilbert signed with the Tigers as the top junior college safety in the country for the class of 2022, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. He appeared in three games this season, finishing with a pair of tackles.

Prior to coming to Auburn, Marquise Gilbert played at Hutchinson Community College. He recorded more than 50 tackles and two interceptions in two seasons there.

Gilbert started his career at Bethune-Cookman, appearing in three games in 2019.

It has been a busy week for Auburn as far as losing players to the portal. In addition to Marquise Gilbert, EDGE Stephen Sings, wide receiver Omari Kelly, wide receiver Jyaire Shorter, wide receiver Malcolm Johnson Jr. and tight end Tyler Fromm have entered the portal this week.

Those players will be unavailable when Auburn faces Maryland in the Music City Bowl on Dec. 30. The Tigers enter that matchup with a 6-6 record and are 2.5-point favorites over the Terrapins.
