Former Michigan State QB Payton Thorne Transfers to Auburn

Payton Thorne, former starting quarterback at Michigan State, has decided to transfer to Auburn University and its football program.
Thorne entered the transfer portal on April 30, leaving Michigan State after two years as the starting quarterback.
In his career at Michigan State, Thorne threw for 6,494 yards and 49 touchdowns.
Thorne's departure leaves Michigan State with limited experienced options at quarterback for the upcoming season.
At Auburn, Thorne will add experience and competition to a quarterback group lacking in both.
