3 takeaways from Payton Thorne’s commitment to Auburn Football

Thorne can attract more talent too

Talented pass catchers want to play with talented quarterbacks and the addition of Thorne will help Auburn football attract more talent from the transfer portal which is needed.

Of course, one name Auburn fans would love to add to the roster for 2023 is Keon Coleman, who also shocked Michigan State football fans by entering the portal.

I don’t know if that was about NIL, or if his decision was connected to Thorne’s, but you have to think the QB is at least recruiting Coleman to Auburn.

Coleman has a bunch of interest though and the On3 prediction machine now projections the Tigers to land former Colorado wideout Montana Lemonious-Craig.

Lemonious-Craig went off for 154 yards in the Colorado spring game. He has 12 career starts under his belt and caught 23 passes for 359 yards and three touchdowns.

He looked like a piece that actually could have fit with the Buffs, but now it looks like he’ll be joining Auburn football and who knows, maybe the addition of Thorne will lead to another wideout like Coleman or someone else.

Either way, the addition of Thorne has multiple impacts and for the Tigers, they should all be positive at least compared to the QB room before.
