Auburn Tigers News: Keyron Crawford ready for SEC play, injury report for week three
In today's edition of Auburn Tigers News, transfer LB Keyron Crawford is ready for the SEC opener and we look at the injury report ahead of this week's game
At the end of April, Auburn football added transfer LB Keyron Crawford to the roster from Arkansas State to continue building up the defense. Quickly, he has become a key player for the Tigers' defense, catching the eyes of his coaches and teammates.
A former Sun Belt player, Crawford is looking forward to playing in his first SEC matchup this weekend, but acknowledges it will be no easy feat.
“So I feel like as a former Sunbelt player coming to the SEC, with a big role and facing my first SEC opponent, I feel like it's kill or be killed,” said Buck linebacker Keyron Crawford, per Auburn Rivals. “Either we're going to lay down or step up to challenge. And I feel like we will.”

This weekend the Auburn Tigers open SEC play against the Arkansas Razorbacks in Jordan-Hare Stadium. The first injury report of the season was released earlier this week, as mandated by the SEC. Nine players appear on this week's injury report, some of whom were expected.
