2023 3* Mich St. Transfer QB Payton Thorne commits to AU!

I watched him last year. He still has major room to grow, but he can benefit us and learn from more coaching. He makes some questionable decisions at times and stares down WRs big time.

Sounds like he is going to fit in well at Auburn.  That's our specialty. 😀

I have a bias for Casey Thompson, but I'll be excited to get either.

There was at least one throw where he checked down to his second option.  Almost all of those throws were to his primary (or only) target, so I’m not ready to call him Jeremy Johnson just yet, however it is noted that could be an issue that needs to be addressed when he gets on campus.

He wasn't asked to do it much, but he's a decent runner

30/42 71%, 323 yds, 3td 1int. Vs a pretty good Washington team.  I'd take this QB

To echo what has already been said, JayG more or less said Thorne is Auburn's if they want him.  Maybe he's waiting till finals are over to make his announcement?

He’s not coming to back up Rob, I’m guessing?

He reminds me of Chris Todd. Which fits, because I’m convinced the 2023 season is basically going to go the way the 2009 season went.

8-5 is bad when you were ranked in the top 10. It is a whole lot different when you're picked last in the SEC west.

We weren’t top 10 in 2009.

But can he throw the backward pass?

Hell yea it is. 8-5 would be awesome and then get a bowl win. 9-5 sounds so nice right now.

FSU and LSU are thought to lead but if we were to secure Thorne, then we would pull even with them and have just as good a shot

You are absolutely correct. I was way wrong. Senior moment I guess. I'll still take that record for this year.

According to Michigan State boards, Thorne and Coleman don't get along at all and won't be going to the same school. 

But then I've seen the news above that Thorne wants Coleman to come with him to Auburn and I've read that these 2 actually do get along and that fans think Mel Tucker is the problem and reason these 2 left. 

I ain't picky. Give me Coleman from MSU or Caleb Burton from Ohio State. Either would be WR #1 the moment he steps into the facility here.
