Auburn football players share thoughts on the quarterback battle

It is nearing crunch time for the Auburn football program as fall camp is right around the corner and the season opener is just over a month away. The team has faced a lot of challenges during this offseason, from new coaches to new teammates to new schemes.

Over 40 new players will have joined the Tigers during the offseason, including former Michigan State quarterback Payton Thorne. The incoming transfer joined returners Robby Ashford and Holden Geriner in the quarterback room, along with true freshman Hank Brown.

Since his arrival on the Plains, it was expected that head coach Hugh Freeze would take a quarterback out of the transfer portal, and he emphasized the fact that there should always be four quarterbacks competing for the job.
