Isn't there a 1-time transfer rule that doesn't necessitate a player having to sit out a year? Isn't that the case with the LSU transfer that's going to Ole Miss (Howard?)? 

Player has to be in the portal by Feb 1 under current SEC rules to be immediately eligible for fall sports.  Doesn’t have to transfer by then, but name has to be in there.

Makes sense considering Gunner is his guy.

B/R shockingly projects Auburn football rival’s quarterback to transfer to the Plains

Bleacher Report’s Brad Shepard is projecting a shocking wild card to enter the Auburn football quarterback room: Georgia signal-caller Brock Vandagriff, who Shepard projects to lose out in the Bulldogs QB battle to Carson Beck.

AU did not add any of their transfer portal targets (Grayson McCall, Devin Leary, Brennan Armstrong) for one reason or another during this past recruiting cycle and Hugh Freeze has not been overly complimentary of the room since taking over. Perhaps poaching a passer in the spring is on the table if Robby Ashford and Holden Geriner — and possibly T.J. Finley, though analysts believe it may be time to give up on giving him snaps — don’t show a firm grasp of the offense.

Shepard believes Vandagriff’s time being coached by former UGA offensive coordinator and current Baltimore Ravens OC Todd Monken could help the QB overcome facing low-level high school competition to be an impact addition to the Tigers:

“Vandagriff is a 6’3″, 205-pound former 5-star from Bogart, Georgia, who didn’t play strong competition in high school and hasn’t broken through with UGA. But two years under offensive coordinator Todd Monken had to help. He may upgrade Auburn’s situation.”

B/R links Auburn football to Gunner Stockton as well

Shepard really likes the idea of a Georgia quarterback making his way to the Plains, projecting both Vandagriff and redshirt freshman Gunner Stockton to draw Auburn football transfer interest in the coming months.

AU pursued Stockton but ultimately lost out to UGA in January 2021. It doesn’t appear as though there’s an open path to snaps for both Beck and Vandagriff. While Vandagriff has at least seen the field, it’s likely that one of them will be squeezed out.

Perhaps the one that does will give a long hard look at Auburn. The Tigers could use competition in a room Freeze is begging to see more from.

We need a QB1 in 2023.  Nice to have another QB for 2024 and beyond but not a need right now.

Alot of people were predicting HG would end up spring as the starting QB but it hasn't happened and I don't expect it to. We'll see.

Haven't seen that from anyone close to the program or covering it.

He likely ain't transferring in the SEC. He would have to sit a year if he did.
