Byrum Brown’s Historic Rise at Auburn | Auburn Tigers Football News

Byrum Brown is heating up the national QB conversation, earning preseason watchlist spots for both the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm and Davey O’Brien Awards — a huge milestone for a transfer quarterback leading Auburn’s charge. After a breakout 2023 season where he threw for over 3,000 yards, rushed for another 1,000, and racked up 42 touchdowns, Brown joins an elite group of just six CFP-era QBs to achieve that dual-threat feat. If he wins either award, it would be historic for Auburn — Cam Newton is the only previous winner of the Davey O’Brien, and no Tiger has ever claimed the Golden Arm. With his rise, the offense could finally push Auburn into bowl eligibility for the first time in years — making Brown not just a star, but a potential game-changer for the program.
