2. Auburn football

To me, Auburn football makes a lot of sense for Walker Howard. Hugh Freeze was just hired as the head coach and right now, Robby Ashford is topping the depth chart — the same guy who completed 49 percent of his passes last season for the Tigers.

I’m sure Freeze woud be able to get more out of him. He’s always been known as an offensive guru but that’s exactly why Walker Howard should take a look at playing for Auburn football.

Freeze is going to get the Tigers headed in the right direction again. He won at Ole Miss and beat Nick Saban a couple of times and turned Liberty into a really solid program.

Nearly half the roster has already been turned over, but the Tigers really need an upgrade at quarterback. Walker Howard wants to play, which seems to be part of the reason why he left LSU, and going to Auburn football seems like a perfect match all around.

Freeze can get a talented, top-50 QB to build around for the next few years, while Howard can play and get the chance to take it to his old team once a year.
