The ‘Spurs Up Show’ is not high on Payton Thorne

The South Carolina-oriented podcast is following the trend of placing Thorne in the lower-tier of SEC QB rankings.

As the college football season draws nearer, SEC position rankings from various outlets are coming out left and right.

There have already been a few SEC quarterback rankings and Auburn newcomer [autotag]Payton Thorne[/autotag] is not getting much love in them.

This remained true in The Spurs Up Show’s rankings which places Thorne in the No. 11 position.

Thorne completed 242 passes for 2,679 yards off of 387 attempts for the Michigan State Spartans in 2022. He also threw 19 touchdown passes to 11 interceptions.

If Thorne were to replicate that stat line, it would be a significant improvement over the quarterback play the Tigers had last season.

The field of SEC quarterbacks is tough, but it will not be long before Auburn fans see what Thorne is capable of in college football’s most competitive conference.
