Auburn found itself on the bright side of a transfer Tuesday, as Michigan graduate Blake Countess announced he will play for the Tigers in 2015.

Countess will be immediately eligible to play after earning his undergraduate degree during his time in Ann Arbor.

The former Michigan corner could prove to be a vital pickup following the Tigers' losses this offseason in their defensive backfield. Countess started 30 games at Michigan, and appeared in 38 total games for the Wolverines, while accumulating 114 tackles and six interceptions in his career.
