Auburn football fans are eager to know who will quarterback the Tigers at the start of the 2024 season. Many expect incumbent Payton Thorne to retain the role, but there are challengers in the quarterback room vying for the position.
Young players like Hank Brown and Walker White are generating excitement, with some believing they have a chance to win the job if they perform well in the spring and summer. Coach Freeze has indicated that the starting position is Thorne’s to lose, but players like Brown, White, or Holden Geriner could make the competition interesting as the offseason progresses.
Brown recently discussed the spring on the Locked On Auburn Podcast, acknowledging the quarterback battle and stating his determination to compete every day. Some Auburn fans are hopeful that Coach Freeze will opt for a younger team, potentially giving Brown or White the opportunity to start at quarterback.
During the Music City Bowl, Brown entered the game late and impressed, throwing for 132 yards and completing seven of his nine attempts.
