In the wake of TJ Finely leaving the program, Auburn has a potential successor lined up.
As to be expected TJ Finely has transferred out of Auburn. While he was regarded in a negative light during the later stage of his tenure, hopefully he can find success. There is an upgrade to TJ in the portal who seems all but committed.
These quarterbacks aren’t going to determine whether Auburn makes a bowl game or not, but Hugh Freeze will.

Payton Thorne recently transferred out of Michigan State. While he was a solid QB for most of his tenure, the majority of it was due to the prolific run game featuring Kenneth Walker. Thorne is a similar player to Zach Calzada, just with more experience.
There isn’t a home run in the transfer portal currently. Thorne is a solid player. However, it would be more beneficial for Auburn to look at a mobile option. Fans don’t want to hear it, but Robby is the best option. Give the guy a chance to show what he has. You can, however, bring in someone else for depth. Give Hugh Freeze a chance to develop the players on the roster.
