A team that has seen most of their success with transfer quarterbacks in the last decade, Auburn Tigers would make a great landing spot for Kelly Bryant. He was recruited by Chad Morris who lives and dies by an offensive system that he learned under Gus Malzahn who runs things down in Auburn.

Bryant is the guy to run in the spread-option that Malzahn wants to run again after utilizing Jarrett Stidham, who is more of a pocket passer, over the past several seasons. Bryant matches the skill sets of what Jeremy Johnson should’ve been and has a better arm than Nick Marshall. Bryant is often compared to Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton despite their build differences.

Bryant took visits to Auburn when he announced he was transferring and mentioned that he enjoyed his visits to the campus. If Bryant decides to transfer and wants to remain in the SEC, Auburn is the best option and I firmly believe that its a better scheme fit and national contender than Missouri given the loss of Emanuel Hall and the differences between former quarterback Drew Lock and Bryant.
