Though he was a celebrated transfer addition when he was added to the Auburn football roster, Payton Thorne ended up on the Plains, objectively, because things weren’t working out perfectly in East Lansing with Mel Tucker and the Michigan State Spartans.

JC Nevils of Mike Farrell Sports pointed out that “things fell apart” for Thorne — which included a 5-7 record for MSU in 2022 and a step back in nearly every imaginable statistic besides completion percentage — in the latest “Three and Out” column.
