Auburn football could pursue 2 transfer portal QBs: Analyst

The Auburn football head coaching staff could be looking to add not one, but two quarterbacks via the transfer portal — this, at least, according to Auburn Daily’s Lance Dawe in a report published on April 12.

“The Tigers are expected to look at several QB options in the transfer portal, possibly even picking up two signal-callers,” Dawe wrote. Paul Finebaum supported the idea that Auburn football would look to the transfer portal on the April 10 edition of his radio show.

“It didn’t change much, and the conclusions is still the same: I think Auburn needs a quarterback,” Finebaum said (h/t 247Sports). “I talked to Hugh Freeze on Friday before the game and you could tell he was saying the right things, but deep down, he knows quarterbacks and he knows he doesn’t have a quarterback on his roster that’s capable of getting Auburn out of the morass that it’s currently in and to the next level. So I think he’ll be pretty active in the portal.”

Auburn football reached out to Oregon State transfer portal QB

Dawe reported that the Tigers have reached out to Oregon State transfer portal entry, Chance Nolan, to add depth and competition to AU’s quarterback room.

“With the transfer portal opening up in four days, what do Hugh Freeze and Philip Montgomery choose to do in the portal? Well, they’re already doing some work,” Dawe wrote. “Chance Nolan, a quarterback transfer from Oregon State, has been contacted by Auburn, sources have confirmed to Auburn Daily.”

Oregon State added highly-touted Clemson transfer DJ Uiagalelei, who failed to match the gaurdy signal-caller standards set in Death Valley over the past decade, pushing Nolan to the end of the depth chart — and ultimately out of Corvallis.

Whether Nolan ultimately ends up on the Plains remains to be seen, but if he does, it’s possible he won’t be coming alone.
