Sad News: Auburn QB Payton Thorne era at the team has come to an end after discussion….

Auburn Tigers quarterback Payton Thorne’s time with the team has come to an end. After a discussion with Athletic Director, it has been decided that Thorne will not be returning to the Tigers next season ¹.

Thorne, a graduate transfer from Michigan State, had a solid season with the Tigers, throwing for 1,671 yards and 15 touchdowns, while also rushing for 524 yards ². Despite his contributions, it appears that the team has decided to go in a different direction.

The decision to part ways with Thorne may come as a surprise to some, given his experience and success on the field. However, it’s likely that the team is looking to give younger players more opportunities to develop and contribute to the team’s success.

Thorne’s departure will undoubtedly have an impact on the team’s offense, but it also presents an opportunity for other players to step up and fill the void. The Tigers have a talented roster, and it will be interesting to see how they adapt to Thorne’s departure.

In a statement, Thorne expressed his gratitude to the team and the university for the opportunity to play for the Tigers. “I appreciate the experience I had at Auburn and the relationships I built with my teammates and coaches,” he said.

Thorne’s future plans are unclear at this time, but it’s likely that he will explore other options, either in the NFL or with another college program.

The Tigers, meanwhile, will look to regroup and refocus on the upcoming season. With a talented roster and a new quarterback at the helm, the team is poised to make a strong run in the SEC.

As for Thorne, his time with the Tigers may be coming to an end, but his legacy on the field will not be forgotten. He will always be remembered as a talented and dedicated player who gave his all to the team.
