    Managing QB: Auburn Football's Best Path Forward at Quarterback

    Auburn enters the offseason facing a familiar—but complex—quarterback question. With new head coach Alex Golesh bringing a quarterback background and portal experience, and talented freshman Deuce Knight already on the roster, the Tigers must decide how to balance immediate stability with long-term development. In this episode, we break down Auburn’s quarterback situation through a roster-management lens. Rather than framing it as a simple choice between the transfer portal and player development, we explore why there’s a realistic path forward that includes both. We discuss fit, timelines, development curves, and how modern college football staffs build QB rooms in the portal era—without sacrificing the future. Learn more about your ad choices.
