One of the top remaining transfer portal QBs is now off the board as South Florida’s Byrum Brown has signed with Auburn, according to multiple reports.
The 6-foot-3, 231-pound quarterback is joining his old USF coach Alex Golesh on The Plains and has one year of eligibility remaining after delivering one of the best seasons in college football.

He threw for 3,158 yards and 28 TDs with just seven interceptions while also running for 1,008 yards and 14 TDs. His combined 42 TDs were tied with Indiana’s Heisman-winning QB Fernando Mendoza as the most in college football.
Brown has been with the Bulls for all four seasons of his career and actually threw for more yards during a standout sophomore campaign (3,292 yards and 26 TDs, with 809 rushing yards and another 11 TDs on the ground) after just pulling spot duty during his freshman season. His junior year in 2024 was cut short due to a broken bone in his leg suffered in a game against Tulane in late September.
The Bulls were in the running for the American title and a spot in the College Football Playoff before a late-season slide that featured losses on the road to Memphis and Navy knocked them out of the picture.
Brown will join a Tigers team with a new head coach in Golesh, who is very familiar with the QB’s game after leading USF for the past three seasons. The Bulls went 23-15 over those three seasons.

The duo will now hope to find some success in the SEC, where the Tigers have been struggling for most of the past decade. The team went 5-7 this season and fired coach Hugh Freeze on Nov. 2 after a 3-3 start.
