Byrum Brown, a transfer from USF, is expected to play a key role for the Auburn Tigers in the upcoming SEC season. Following a successful year where he totaled 3,158 passing yards and 1,008 rushing yards, Brown is viewed as one of the most impactful transfers in the SEC. He will lead a revamped Tigers squad and looks to guide them to their first bowl game appearance in three seasons. With familiarity stemming from four of his top five USF receivers also joining him at Auburn, Brown will be under considerable pressure as he adapts from the American Athletic Conference to the SEC.
- •Brown had 42 total touchdowns in his last season at USF.
- •He joins Auburn after four years under head coach Alex Golesh.
- •Brown's dual-threat ability makes him a notable player in college football.
- •Auburn aims for its first bowl game in three seasons.
