Former Auburn QB Joey Gatewood transfers to ACC school
Former Auburn quarterback Joey Gatewood has found a new home.
Gatewood has transferred to Louisville, per his social media. The former Tiger signal-caller has now played at four different schools over the course of six seasons. After appearing in eight games for the Tigers from 2018-19, Gatewood transferred to Kentucky. He completed 17 of 35 pass attempts for no touchdowns and an interception in six games with the Wildcats.
After a one-year stint at UK, Gatewood moved to UCF. He rushed for 142 yards and completed two of eight pass attempts for one touchdown. He moved to wide receiver this past season and did not record a stat.
A former four-star prospect coming out of high school, Gatewood was a promising talent with impressive size (6-foot-5, 220 pounds).
The Auburn Tigers had ten players depart from the program during the spring transfer portal window, 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. 2 nationally in 247Sports' transfer portal class rankings.
