Could Auburn’s Byrum Brown Be a Heisman Dark Horse?

When the 2026 college football season began, Auburn quarterback Byrum Brown wasn't among the names receiving the most attention in the Heisman Trophy race.

That could change quickly.

Brown enters his first season at Auburn after transferring from USF, where he established himself as one of the most productive dual-threat quarterbacks in the country. Now playing in the SEC, Brown has an opportunity to put his talents on the biggest stage in college football.
