AUBURN, Ala. — John Franklin III might have been the star of the summer Netflix hit Last Chance U, but Sean White will be the one getting another opportunity on the Plains this fall.
On Thursday evening, nine days before Auburn's season opener against No. 2 Clemson, head coach Gus Malzahn announced White would be the Tigers' starting quarterback. The sophomore beat out JUCO transfer Franklin and senior Jeremy Johnson for the job.
"We've got three guys that can run our offense, but Sean White's the first one that will be out there," Malzahn said.
