Once Payton Thorne told Michigan State fans his days as a Spartan had come to an end, it didn’t take long for the quarterback to announce where he was headed.
Thorne, who started 26 games at Michigan State and ranks in the top 10 of multiple career passing statistics, said on Friday that he has committed to Auburn, a little less than a week after entering the transfer portal and a day after thanking Michigan State fans.
He heads to a school that, like Michigan State, finished 5-7 last season and held a quarterback competition throughout spring practice.
