One of the strangest signings in recent memory for Gus Malzahn occurred this summer when 23 year old Cord Sandberg decided to give football another try. Sandberg spent six years inside the Philadelphia Phillies organization before deciding to head back to the gridiron. Sandberg visited, and ultimately committed to Auburn over LSU and NC State. Originally a Mississippi State commitment in the 2013 recruiting class, the four-star dual threat QB chose baseball, as many multi-sport athletes do. According to sources, most schools offered him a spot as a preferred walk-on. Auburn offered a full ride. With senior Devin Adams receiving scholarship this week, Auburn now has five quarterbacks on scholarship.
