Auburn QBs compete on first day of Spring practice; Payton Thorne, Walker White, Hank Brown

Auburn Tigers freshman quarterback Walker White wasted no time in looking to cash in on his name, image and likeness.

Just two months removed from his enrollment at Auburn, White has already partnered with an NIL agency as he’s signed with QB Reps — a Nashville-based agency run by Peter Webb.

“QB Reps is a full-service agency providing NIL services to the nation’s leading quarterbacks,” QB Reps’ website reads. “We are with our QBs every step of the way, from high school to the pros, helping them maximize opportunities to generate revenue and build their brands, while navigating the changing NIL landscape.”

In onboarding with QB Reps, White joins a handful of highly regarded quarterbacks including former Oregon and Auburn quarterback Bo Nix, former Duke and current Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard and Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson.

“We’re excited for Walker to begin his college career at Auburn,” QB Reps’ chief marketing officer Doug Young said in an interview with On3 Sports. “He’s a great football player, but more importantly an incredible human being and leader. It’s an honor to work with him.”

White, who ranked as a 4-star and the fifth-best quarterback in the 2024 recruiting class, landed at Auburn despite strong recruiting efforts from Clemson, Ole Miss and others.

After his performance in the 2024 All-American Bowl, which saw him complete his first pass of the day for a 51-yard touchdown, 247Sports called White “the best quarterback, by far” to take snaps in the game that afternoon.

White is currently going through his first spring practice with the Tigers and finds himself in the mix of what’s shaping up to be a four-man quarterback battle between himself, Payton Thorne, Hank Brown and Holden Geriner.

And while Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze says things are currently coming at the true freshman quick, he’s been impressed by what White has displayed.

“I think he’s so talented,” Freeze said of White on Feb. 29. “I mean, his arm strength is phenomenal. He made throws the other day that take great arm strength to make.”
