The keys to the Auburn offense are expected to be handed to a “more comfortable” Payton Thorne in 2024.
Ahead of Auburn’s A-Day spring game in April, Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze told reporters that Payton Thorne was in the “pole position” of the Tigers’ quarterback race.
Freeze’s comments last week echo those he’s made all offseason as it relates to Auburn’s quarterback room. Throughout spring camp, Thorne’s grip on the starting job never seemed to loosen despite guys like redshirt freshman Hank Brown and sophomore Holden Geriner nipping at his heels, while true freshman Walker White added another talented arm to the mix.
“I meet with him every single week right now. He has a knowledge of the game that’s as good as I’ve been around for a quarterback. Now that we’ve gone back to some of the things I’m really familiar with, I think he’s going to be more comfortable.” And while a more comfortable and confident-feeling starting quarterback should help the Tigers in 2024, Freeze knows it’ll take more than that.
“We had to restructure that room,” Freeze said before his round at the Regions Tradition Celebrity Pro-Am golf event in Hoover on May 8. “I hate saying it like that sometimes. But for what we want to do, we had to change that room.”
