Raion Strader's 2025 Auburn football player profile
Strader joins Auburn's roster after spending two seasons at Miami (Ohio), where he logged over 100 tackles and 30 pass breakups.
Auburn football's secondary will provide challenges to opposing offenses this season thanks to a mix of young players who gained early experience early in their careers.
In an effort to assist those young players and to provide depth, Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze added a talented cornerback through the transfer portal, Raion Strader. Strader started 24 games in two seasons at Miami (Ohio), where he was active in the Redhawks' pass defense by deflecting over 30 passes and making over 100 tackles during his time at Miami. His numbers led him to earn several postseason honors including first team All-MAC in 2024, and Freshman All-American by College Football News in 2023.
Strader will be in a rotation with Kayin Lee, Jay Crawford, and Kensley Louidor-Faustin this season at the cornerback position. Crawford was the highest-graded cornerback in coverage last season according to Pro Football Focus with a 77.5 grade, while Lee had the fourth-highest pass rush grade on the Tiger defense at 71.8. Mixing Strader in with Lee and Crawford will keep the Tigers' defensive backfield playing at a high level, not matter who is on the field.
Here is a look at Raion Strader's player profile ahead of the 2025 season.
