Auburn quarterback Byrum Brown faces scrutiny amid performance regression

Auburn Tigers quarterback Byrum Brown is facing scrutiny following a regression in performance during the 2026 college football season. After a successful previous season, Brown has struggled with his delivery and decision-making in the SEC, recording five passing touchdowns against four interceptions.

Auburn's recent struggles, including losses to Baylor and Florida, have led to discussions regarding whether the coaching staff should transition to freshman five-star quarterback Jared Curtis. The upcoming game against Vanderbilt is viewed as a critical juncture for Brown's position on the roster.
