Since taking over the Auburn football program late last year, head coach Hugh Freeze and his staff have done a lot of work on the recruiting trail and in the transfer portal to bolster the roster. Over 20 transfers have made their way to the Plains during the offseason, and many are expected to make instant impacts on the field.
The headliner of the transfer portal group is no doubt former Michigan State quarterback Payton Thorne. Throughout the first portal window, Auburn football fans were on the edges of their seats waiting to see if Freeze would pull in another QB, but it didn’t happen.
