During Auburn University's A-Day game, quarterback Byrum Brown showcased his potential, prompting head coach Alex Golesh to express confidence in his abilities. USA TODAY's analyst Matt Hayes echoed this sentiment by ranking Brown as the No. 6 quarterback in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). This ranking places him among elite players such as Arch Manning from Texas and Gunner Stockton from Georgia. Brown's dual-threat capabilities, highlighted by his impressive 329 total yards against Florida last season, make him a formidable opponent for defenses. Notably, Brown benefits from the presence of two former offensive linemen from the University of South Florida (USF) who have joined him at Auburn, as well as several familiar wide receivers. This support system positions Brown well for success in the upcoming season.
