Auburn has lost two player to the transfer portal so far this week.
Ro Torrence, a cornerback for Auburn, announced Wednesday afternoon that he is entering the transfer portal on Twitter. Quarterback Dematrius Davis announced his plans to transfer just half an hour before Torrence.
Torrence was in position to compete for a starting job after appearing in ten games last season. His competition at cornerback featured Nehemiah Pritchett, Jaylin Simpson, Keionte Scott, D.J. James, and J.D. Rhym.
Torrence played at Hutchinson Community College, where he was named KJCCC Defensive Player of the Year. He committed to Tennessee before flipping to Auburn in June of 2021. He was a three-star prospect out of Bessemer, Alabama.
He only allowed only one completion pass against him during the 2020-21 regular season at Hutchinson Community College. Torrence totaled 28 total tackles, six pass break ups and one interception, which came in the NJCAA title game.
This past season, he played in 10 games and recorded five total tackles, including one vs Akron, one vs South Carolina, and three in the Birmingham Bowl vs Houston. Torrence also had a forced fumble and a pass breakup against Houston.
It's never great to see a corner of Torrence's size (6-foot-3, 195 pounds) walk, but the Tigers do have depth at cornerback. Torrence's departure does not hurt the defensive backfield's overall production.
