Quarterback Jarrett Stidham looks to begin a new legacy after starting as a true freshman at Baylor. When quarterback Seth Russell went down with injury, Stidham stepped in and handled himself perfectly.

He threw for 1,265 passing yards and 12 touchdowns in 10 games for the Baylor Bears in 2015. The Bears finished with a 10-3 record that season. Things were running smoothly for him before the firing of Art Briles, which triggered his transfer elsewhere.

Stidham spent the past season at McLennan Community College. While he enters the football ranks at Auburn, he attended a junior college without a football program in 2016.

He could challenge for the starting job against current quarterback Sean White. White ultimately become the Tigers’ starting quarterback after John Franklin III among others failed to work out under center.

White went on to throw for 1,679 passing yards and nine passing touchdowns in 2016. Auburn finished with an 8-5 record last season.
