Auburn football seems like the clear favorite for former Michigan State quarterback Payton Thorne. After hosting former Nebraska quarterback Casey Thompson for a visit, it appears that Hugh Freeze has his eyes set on Payton Thorne being a key factor in Auburn's quarterback battle entering the 2023 college football season.

On today's Locked On Auburn, Zac Blackerby is joined by On3's J.D. PicKell to discuss the Auburn football and Payton Thorne fit, grade Hugh Freeze's job on the Plains so far, and speculate how many wins the Auburn Tigers could land this season.
