Auburn Tigers Update: New Quarterback Recognized, 5-Star WR Plans Visit
The Auburn football program’s quarterback lineup underwent significant changes this offseason. With Holden Geriner, Walker White, and Hank Brown entering the transfer portal, and Payton Thorne exhausting his eligibility, the Tigers brought in three quarterbacks from the transfer portal: Jackson Arnold, Ashton Daniels, and Tanner Bailey. They will join 5-star freshman Deuce Knight.
Jackson Arnold, a former Oklahoma quarterback, is projected to start for Auburn in 2025. According to 247Sports, Arnold is also expected to be among the most productive quarterbacks in college football, ranking 10th in their top 10 quarterback projections for next season.
Brad Crawford of 247Sports highlighted Arnold’s potential:
“As inconsistent as the offense was last season in terms of turnovers, the Tigers still managed explosive plays through the air. With returning playmaking wide receivers and additional portal recruits, Arnold should thrive, especially with improved offensive line play.”
5-Star WR Tristen Keys to Attend Junior Day
Auburn football is preparing for an important Junior Day event this weekend. The event will host most of the team’s 2026 commits and several top prospects. Among them is 5-star wide receiver Tristen Keys, ranked as the No. 2 wide receiver in the 2026 class and the No. 1 player from Mississippi.
