Auburn receiver Tray Taylor not eligible to play yet, coach says
Summary

Auburn football's newly added wide receiver, Tray Taylor, is currently ineligible to compete, according to head coach Alex Golesh. Although Taylor can practice, the ongoing discussions with the NCAA have delayed his eligibility for games. Taylor, who transferred from Troy, was recruited for his skills as a dynamic return man. He has logged significant stats at the Division I level, including 48 receptions for 761 yards and multiple touchdowns. Golesh expressed optimism that Taylor could contribute once cleared.
