Kite is the latest name to enter the portal as it opened this wee. Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze has a plan in the portal, especially at quarterback.

He landed one of the best quarterbacks in the country in Deuce Knight in the Class of 2025, but that doesn’t mean Auburn won’t look in the portal.

“I’ve told all our guys, obviously we’re really excited about our signing Deuce,” Freeze said, via 247Sports. “I think he’s incredibly talented, and obviously I like Walker (White) and Hank (Brown) too. But you’re going to have four quarterbacks on your roster. I don’t care what school you go to, some may choose to have five, but we’re at least going to have four quarterbacks on our roster, and currently we have three. 

“So we’re looking, you know, obviously, to have a fourth guy in there, and not sure exactly what that looks like right now, because not sure who all is going in the portal and all of that, but excited about getting the work with Deuce, Hank and Walker for sure. And Whoever we add as that fourth guy.”
