There is a new name in the transfer portal and one that LSU fans are familiar with, Auburn’s Bo Nix. He announced on Instagram that he would put his name in the transfer portal as a graduate transfer. He recently graduated from Auburn and is now looking for his next opportunity.
His stats aren’t eye-popping, to say the least, but he was having his best season from a completion percentage and yards per attempt standpoint. Nix leaves Auburn as a three-year starter. The former five-star quarterback could be valuable to a team in need of a veteran quarterback. Would he stay in the SEC?

The idea of Nix to LSU isn’t one that will excite many Tiger fans but he could have an impact on the team. Currently, the Bayou Bengals are projected to have two quarterbacks on scholarship in 2022. Neither has started a single game at the collegiate level. Freshman Garret Nussmeier played most of the Arkansas game but Max Johnson was the starter for that game. The other quarterback coming in will be freshman Walker Howard. They don’t have any experience at the position.
With Johnson in the portal as well, the Tigers could use another arm or two. Myles Brennan could be an option but he will be sought after. This year against LSU, Nix led Auburn to victory in Death Valley for the first time in 20 years. He would be a dual-threat that could really impact the offense.
It is unclear if new head coach Brian Kelly would have interest in the former Auburn quarterback but given the lack of arms in the quarterback room, they might need to take a look.
