Auburn must replace starter Payton Thorne, and two backups have entered the transfer portal. Daniels passed for 3,986 yards, 21 touchdowns and 20 interceptions in three seasons at Stanford. He also ran for 1,117 yards and nine touchdowns.

"Seeing the atmosphere and everything that that comes with being an Auburn fan, being in this Auburn community, it's so special," Daniels said.

Former Stanford signal caller Ashton Daniels committed to the Tigers on Monday, announcing his commitment in a post on Instagram with On3’s Hayes Fawcett. He becomes the second transfer quarterback to help fill the hole left in Auburn’s thin quarterback room, joining Oklahoma transfer Jackson Arnold.
