Auburn football lands commitment from Western Kentucky edge transfer Marcus Bragg

AUBURN — Western Kentucky graduate transfer Marcus Bragg committed to Auburn football Sunday, adding a much-needed layer to the Tigers' 2022 edge room.

Bragg's commitment was first reported by On3.

The former Hilltopper totaled 27 tackles last season, including four sacks and a forced fumble. He played at WKU for three years after starting his college career at Mississippi Delta Community College.

On Western Kentucky's 2021 roster, Bragg was listed at 6-foot-4, 260 pounds. He's from North Miami, Florida.

Auburn has a strong duo of edge starters returning this season in Derick Hall and Eku Leota, but depth has been a major concern. Before Bragg's commitment, Auburn only had three players on scholarship at the position.

Bragg and Dylan Brooks are sure to get significant reps even if they aren't starting in 2022.
