When new head coach Alex Golesh arrived on the Plains, he was quickly tasked with rebuilding the entire Auburn Tigers quarterback room. Jackson Arnold, Ashton Daniels and Deuce Knight all entered the transfer portal and have committed to new teams.
Since Golesh's hiring, getting former USF quarterback Byrum Brown on the Plains was the top priority, and he signed with the Tigers after spending last weekend in Auburn on a visit. Brown's commitment was preceded by another former USF quarterback— Locklan Hewitt— and 3-star quarterback Rhys Brush signed with the Tigers in the class of 2026.
