The College Transfer Portal Twitter page believes an Auburn commitment is coming soon for Payton Thorne

According to the College Transfer Portal Twitter page, Payton Thorne could be committing to Auburn soon.

The Twitter page "College Transfer Portal" tweeted that their sources are telling them former Michigan State quarterback Payton Thorne will be committing to Auburn, and an announcement should be coming soon. 

If this is an accurate report, this is extremely exciting, as Thorne is a quarterback who can come in and help Auburn win an extra game or two in 2023. 

Thorne threw for 2,679 yards in 2022 as well as 16 touchdowns. He had a career-high in touchdowns in 2021, when he tossed 27 for Michigan State. 

We will be waiting on the news to break officially now as this Twitter page believes we will soon find out Auburn has landed its coveted transfer portal quarterback. 


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

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.
