QB Bishop Davenport enters the transfer portal and has Auburn ties
Bishop Davenport, a six-foot-two 180-pound dual-threat quarterback out of Spring, Texas, has entered the transfer portal. Davenport, who will be a sophomore in 2023, is out of the Utah State Aggies program. The Aggies are having what seems to be a mass exodus from their football program.
Davenport is a former 3-star prospect who was the Texas District 14-6A MVP in 2020 and 2021. He was heavily recruited by and built a strong relationship with Auburn’s offensive coordinator Phillip Montgomery. Montgomery tried his best to land Davenport while he was head coach at Tulsa. To no avail.
Davenport took over for the Aggies in the last two games of the season and their bowl game. He went 27 of 44 for 245 yards and a couple of touchdowns with a 62% completion average. He also added in 30 rushes for 60 yards and two touchdowns, those numbers look a little off because he had some sacks behind an atrocious offensive line. Auburn fans can understand that view. He is an interesting quarterback who will likely end up at a Power 5 school. He would be an interesting fit at Auburn as well. He has played in a similar offense throughout high school and college. I am not sure if Auburn takes a swing at getting this young man, but he would be the “perfect” second portal guy if they wanted to go that route. And one that the coaches are familiar with.
The Tigers have now had five players depart from the program within the last couple of weeks, including three backup linebackers:
Wide Receiver Tar'Varish Dawson
Defensive lineman Jeffrey M'ba
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.
