Analyzing the Impact of Payton Thorne's Commitment to Auburn
Another win for Hugh Freeze in the transfer portal this weekend, as Auburn secured the quarterback position for the 2023 season with Michigan State transfer Payton Thorne. Plenty of hot takes have been floated around, with the most popular being the betting odds for Auburn's win total being over 6.5 this year (per Fanduel) or that the Tigers have a better QB room than Bama.
For now, the commitment means that Auburn has turned the heat up on the quarterback competition, but the implications go beyond just the 2023 season. Here's what Thorne's arrival means for Auburn in the summer, fall and beyond.
1. A Wideout should follow Payton to Auburn
2. Auburn is now a Spoiler in the West.
3. QB(A)U?
