Auburn Tigers

Auburn landed transfer quarterback Payton Thorne from Michigan State, and Tiger fans rejoiced. 

This is a significant addition that could lead to multiple more wins for the Tigers in 2023. 

Thorne started for the Spartans in 2021 and 2022, putting up solid numbers in the Big Ten.

He is a great quarterback who Coach Hugh Freeze should be able to develop into something special.

Let's take a look at what Auburn fans had to say about the Tigers landing Thorne. 

The Tigers have had ten players depart from the program within the last few weeks, including three backup linebackers:

Quarterback TJ Finley

Wide receiver Tar'Varish Dawson

Wide receiver Landen King

Offensive lineman Colby Smith

Defensive lineman Jeffrey M'ba

Defensive lineman Tobechi Okoli

Defensive end Dylan Brooks

Linebacker Kameron Brown

Linebacker Desmond Tisdol

Linebacker Powell Gordon

Auburn has pulled in an impressive haul thus far during Hugh Freeze's first season on the Plains, currently sitting at No. 3 nationally in 247Sports' transfer portal class rankings.
