Byrum Brown has been named one of the top transfer quarterbacks heading into the 2026 season by Athlon Sports. After transferring from USF to Auburn, where he played under Alex Golesh for four years, he is anticipated to make a significant impact in the SEC. Brown previously led the nation in total offense with 347.2 yards per game last season.
