Payton Thorne says Coach Freeze made his decision to come to Auburn easy

Payton Thorne and Coach Freeze are building a great connection.

Coach Freeze and company have been looking for a quarterback in the portal for months and finally found one in Payton Thorne.

He is an excellent addition to this football team who put up outstanding numbers these past few seasons for Michigan State.

Thorne recently joined the MAX Roundtable, where host Doug Amos asked him what drew him to Auburn. 

Throne responded, " You know when I was down for my visit, I was there for a day. Just an unofficial visit, but you know it was a great time. I obviously got to meet Coach Freeze and Coach Montgomery and listen to them talk football and watching what they do on offense, along with many other things, getting to see the facilities getting to see the town. Then just everything that I've heard about Auburn and Auburn football has been nothing but great things. I was very excited when I was down there with my dad; we talked for a while about it, and Coach Freeze made it an easy decision for me."

Thorne makes it sound pretty clear that he has a great connection with Coach Freeze and the staff. 

The former Michigan State quarterback is going to be a massive boost for this Auburn offense and should be exactly what the Tigers need to win eight-plus games.

Thorne and his teammates will start the Hugh Freeze era with a bang in 2023.
