Auburn will have a new starting quarterback for this upcoming season.
Ashford was Auburn’s main quarterback last season. He is a dynamic athlete who rushed for 709 yards and seven touchdowns on the season, but he completed only 49.2% of his pass attempts. Freeze said Ashford will have a package of plays in the offense.
“I believe Robby Ashford gives us an absolute better shot to win the game if he accepts this news because he might be the most freakish athlete I’ve ever had at quarterback,” Freeze said. Auburn, coming off back-to-back losing seasons, had one of the worst passing offenses in the country last fall. Freeze worked the transfer portal hard to try to remedy that.
In addition to Thorne, the Tigers added wide receivers Jyaire Shorter , Shane Hooks , Nick Mardner and Caleb Burton . Auburn also added tight end Rivaldo Fairweather from FIU and four offensive linemen, three of whom are projected to start.
