As an Auburn fan I have commented many times on Locked on Auburn and other sites. I can’t blame Walker for leaving. Apparently Freeze only wants transfer QBs! Our loss, your gain!
Yea Walker is a 4 star who played for 2A school and couldn't even unsit Hank Brown a 3 star. Walker had 2 true 5 stars around him and didn't want to compete
It’s understandable. He was loyal to AU from day 1. I think I remember him committing early and helping to recruit that 2024 class that was like wow! He definitely deserves a loyal program that’s going to develop him, and actually let him on the field, instead of recruiting over the top of him. Hugh should have thrown a bag of money at him.
I'm an Auburn fan and what you said is total BS. Freeze had no plan for the QBs and White wanted to be developed. You are just being an Auburn homer. Freeze will be fired after 2025.
I love how optimistic yall are😂. “Number 3 quarterback in the country out of highschool” he was number six “auburns quarterback of the future” he left cause we brought in two guys better than him like a good coach is supposed to do. “It’s like bringing in a 5 star out of highschool” he was the number 86 player in the country out of highschool and his ratings in the portal went down 3 points lower than they were out of highschool and he was the number 10 qb in the portal. Ts is hilarious guys
I wanted Walker to start as a True Freshman… what could have went wrong 🤷🏿♂️ at Least Walker would learn as he go. Compared to a 4th year start playing like a Freshman
4 star not a 5 star goof. Never rated #3 QB. Couldn't beat out Hank Brown even for 2nd string. Ran like a little girl when he saw the future QB battles at Auburn
I went to 10:57 before finding anything resembling a "shot" at Coach Freeze.The prior minutes were praise for White, richly deserved but dancing around the headline.
This is sad, even for sports journalism. Walker was never a five star. Hugh tells all the players he is going to recruit over them. Walker didn’t want to compete for a position against two CLEARLY better qbs I bet he won’t start there either.
Buddy was a project for at least another year. He’s going to be good but these kids don’t really want to compete. Some of your facts are off. He wasn’t a 5 star he was a 4 star and he was the 7th best QB in that class, not #3. He has to develop, problem is, competition really shows you who someone is. He had to have looked at Jackson Arnold (who was the best QB in his class in ‘23) and Deuce Knight (consensus 5 star QB in ‘25 class), I guess too much heat in the kitchen
Coming from an Auburn man. Walker was my sadest player to see leave. He’s literally the same guy as Jackson Arnold. He’s better in my opinion because he had a year to watch and play 1 quarter. In his 1 quarter he threw a pic and then ran in a touchdown. I feel in my heart he’s 5 times better than Arnold. His head is on his shoulders. Some say he couldn’t pick up Hugh’s prolific RPO offense in 1 season but I myself think that offense is BS!!!!! It’s not fooling anyone. Walker will be a star. I just pray SE stays healthy so Walker doesn’t have to come in next year and hand Auburn a L. Hugh would be fired by week 6
Auburn fan, live in Texas. Walker needs his chance, I hope he gets it and is succesful. Two things that are true, Auburn’s supporting cast is better than Baylor’s but Baylor can develop him with their better staff.
I think White is coming in with the mindset to take the starting job away from whoever's Baylor's starting QB is and if I were a Baylor fan that's exactly what I'd want and expect
Huge pickup for you guys with WW. Freeze used WW as a recruiting seed to attract better recruits, it appears to have worked but WW had more ambitions for his future. WW is a great kid, he can be developed into a great QB.
We never got a chance to see him play. I don't know how good he really is but I wish him the best. I watched his high school film and he looked like the real deal. I don't think CHF gave W. White or Hank Brown the chances they deserved because he knew our future QB Deuce Knight wouldn't have committed to Auburn if White or Brown looked really good . I think Baylor is getting one hell of a QB
Auburn Fan: Fell in love with WW outta HS. Loved his game, thought he was special, he did struggle in the game he got in but once again he was a freshman. I think he'll be good. I pray he does. Just disappointed he didn't want to compete. If he wouldve been QB3 going into the szn I wouldnt have had any ill feelings towards him deciding to transfer. A 4 or 5 star QB shouldnt have to be his 2nd szn.
he's played minimally in a mop up role. He cowered to incoming qb's that might have given him a run for the starting job. Doesn't sound like a competitor you want running your team
@joelpead2687 yeah Oklahoma is one of the worst teams in the SEC and we have a pretty good sample size of how good Baylor was against Oklahoma. Auburn sucks, they made some bad decisions but to try to compare the Big 12 against the SEC is insane. Especially when the only teams the big12 had that were good are now in the SEC.....
@EMoss1 Lol.hahaha the sec has 2 maybe 3 elite teams, that prop up the rest of the sec.! The middle and bottom half of the sec is comparable to the AAC! Lol.hahaha. BYU has a winning record vs both those so called best teams that left the big 12! There's 4 teams that have won in the sec the rest have never done anything! Texas came from the big 12 and should have won the overrated conference! Lol. The sec was awarded 3 spots in the playoffs this year and won't be playing in the championship game!
Well we did kind of sink this year, and we did exactly what you just said. We didn’t play our best quarterback. Not to mention the coach tried to make an offensive line by acquiring linemen from losing programs and he still doesn’t recognize the kind of dire straits that side of the ball is in.
@dumdiversaspapalbull1452 when you inherit what Freeze inherited on the OL you take the best available OL that you can get. He's done a pretty goid job building a OL that should be a strength this year for the 1st time in a while. I personally would've rolled with Hank a little longer but 3 INT's in a half is pretty bad. Walker might have a higher ceiling than Thorne but obviously he wasn't better or he would've been on the field. Auburn's QB room is the best it's ever been, we have nothing to be upset about
@@scottybthebaylorking6736 as with ALL QB “pickups” in the portal, results on the field will determine whether it was “good”. AU got the consensus 5 star QB Jackson Arnold from OU. Time will tell on each
So what's with the Pat's gear? That's where Stidham wound up...also I will never forget Stidham saying "we got this" after Briles was shown the door, and then transferring to Auburn.
Christmas present I got today back home in MA! Always felt the same about Stid…”stick with us”* * = until I take a full year off football just so I can leave here.
How have you missed that about Cam? ; He’s not a bandwagoner. He’s actually really from a place where they have pawkin gawds and wickit hat caffee. (Parking guards and wicked hot coffee.) Cam took elocution classes so we don’t need closed captioning on his vids.
As a HS recruit, Nate Bennett had offers from Columbia, Penn, Hawaii, Western Michigan, Old Dominion, and Baylor. Per 247, he was the lowest rated recruit in BU’s 2024 class. I’m unaware of anything that’s occurred in the year he’s been on campus to make him desirable to a P4 program. Also, I think his parents went to Baylor.
1. He was not the future QB at Auburn, he left because J. Arnold and Deuce Knight were. 2. He was 4th string scout team all year and his first game action fumbled and overthrew 2 wide open guys. 3.He was the 101st player and 9th QB untill one game with the Arkansas highschool bowl thing. He jumped to #5 QB, 41st overall. I’ve kept a close eye on Walker for 2 years now. Don’t be too excited. I’d say there is a 15% chance he ends up an NFL draft pick.
I’m an Auburn fan. Many, if not most of us, felt Coach Freeze mishandled the QB room this year. After 3 games the fan base was fully ready to see Walker White and Hank Brown share QB duties for the remainder of the season. We see what you see, 4 more years of eligibility with an elite 5 Star QB. Now we’ve signed Deuce Knight ( thank God) but also we’ve gotten Jackson, Oklahoma’s starting QB whom is also a 5 Star. Hopefully, Freeze will platoon Deuce and Jackson so we don’t lose our future QB again…
Auburn fan here I was kind of disappointed that we went for Duke night. Walker White was OK, but I really liked Hank Brown. And I felt like those two were going to be our future. Of course Hank left and then Walker left after we got Jackson Arnold. I wish we still had brown white Maybe a senior for one year from the portal. Then a back up. When you load the room too much they’re not all gonna stay. Good luck to walk White. Good luck to the Bears. Can’t wait till the end of August. I might actually make the trek from Atlanta to Waco. I’m originally from Burnet.
Wasted money. Finn2. Baylor's quarterback recruits should hit the portal since the Bears have zero faith in them. I'd transfer to directional U instead of being shat on like this. Cam, you continue to disappoint when thinking transfers are better than recruits. Bears will never have depth putting transfers ahead of recruits.
Maybe the problem is you’re looking at a transfer rather than as a recruit. Transfers are more valuable because they have proven they can play at this level. With very few college snaps, Walker is more like a recruit…and as a recruit, he was the no. 3 dual-threat QB in America. Is that bad?
Im an Auburn fan and a die hard Auburn fan! And he was our future. So don't act like we didn't want him. Don't paint us in that light. He's a freshmen, he wasn't going to see the field as qb1 he was qb2 or 3. So we know what we had. Arrogant ass dude
He seems to be a Tim Tebow talent. AU could have won a lot more games with him on the field this past season. But he’s probably a recruiting nightmare at the position for rbs and wrs. Hugh loves his wrs.
Auburn fan here. I hope WW has a successful career as a Baylor bear nothing but love for the kid.
AU fan here and congrats to Baylor - He could become a Monster for Baylor in the future - Best of luck Walker !
As an Auburn fan I have commented many times on Locked on Auburn and other sites. I can’t blame Walker for leaving. Apparently Freeze only wants transfer QBs!
Our loss, your gain!
Good luck to him at Baylor. When he signed with AU out of high school a TON of people were questioning his playing for a small private high school.
Yea Walker is a 4 star who played for 2A school and couldn't even unsit Hank Brown a 3 star. Walker had 2 true 5 stars around him and didn't want to compete
That's not why he left. Stop putting the guy down.
He was a 4 star.. but ok.
It’s understandable. He was loyal to AU from day 1. I think I remember him committing early and helping to recruit that 2024 class that was like wow! He definitely deserves a loyal program that’s going to develop him, and actually let him on the field, instead of recruiting over the top of him. Hugh should have thrown a bag of money at him.
He isn't a 5 star and never was
Man Walker ran from competition and he was a 4star ,we are good 😊 he ran from Duce knight..War Eagle 🦅!!
I'm an Auburn fan and what you said is total BS.
Freeze had no plan for the QBs and White wanted to be developed.
You are just being an Auburn homer. Freeze will be fired after 2025.

Thanks for all your hard work this year, Cam.
I wanted Walker to start as a True Freshman… what could have went wrong 🤷🏿♂️ at Least Walker would learn as he go. Compared to a 4th year start playing like a Freshman
Y’all are getting a great young man! Wish him all the best. War Eagle!
4 star not a 5 star goof. Never rated #3 QB. Couldn't beat out Hank Brown even for 2nd string. Ran like a little girl when he saw the future QB battles at Auburn

You the man!
He was never a five star quarterback

You're a bama fan and the wide receivers Auburn has Jackson Arnold will ball out worse case next season 9-3 Book it.
Auburn fan, live in Texas. Walker needs his chance, I hope he gets it and is succesful. Two things that are true, Auburn’s supporting cast is better than Baylor’s but Baylor can develop him with their better staff.
😂😂😂 better staff???
Walker white wasn’t a 5 star.
I know this for a fact, he was a six star coming out of high school not five star, get your facts right.
As long as he understands he’s coming in as the backup for a year, I’m cool with it.
He doesn't want competition. Otherwise he wouldn't have transferred.
I think White is coming in with the mindset to take the starting job away from whoever's Baylor's starting QB is and if I were a Baylor fan that's exactly what I'd want and expect
@ competition is always good. But our QB finished #5 in the nation.
He's a four star...and he did not take a shot at Auburn or Hugh Freeze.
AU fan here. Walker White could be great for Baylor in 2026.
Huge pickup for you guys with WW. Freeze used WW as a recruiting seed to attract better recruits, it appears to have worked but WW had more ambitions for his future. WW is a great kid, he can be developed into a great QB.

Where is he a 5 star?
He was a four star….but he has great potential
So why call him a five star then?
Bummed he couldn’t stay, Baylor got an UNBELIEVABLE talent at QB, great kid and superbly talented, I’m very much on the fence with Freeze rn
The Baylor Baptist got themselves a fine qb
he a 4 star, also he apparently was awful in practice and not a competitor, yall can have him he wants to be handed a job instead of competing
Yall can have him he did not wanna compete for the job he wanted it gave to him, we thank yall for Jarret STIDHAM tho he was good
Auburn Fan: Fell in love with WW outta HS. Loved his game, thought he was special, he did struggle in the game he got in but once again he was a freshman. I think he'll be good. I pray he does. Just disappointed he didn't want to compete. If he wouldve been QB3 going into the szn I wouldnt have had any ill feelings towards him deciding to transfer. A 4 or 5 star QB shouldnt have to be his 2nd szn.
What does he say about Freeze? I'm not gonna watch a 15 minute video looking for a comment that may or may not be clickbait.
He’s a 4 star not 5 but cool to me tho buddy scared of competition.
he's played minimally in a mop up role. He cowered to incoming qb's that might have given him a run for the starting job. Doesn't sound like a competitor you want running your team
Auburn plays in the SEC where you get and play the best players available or you sink. I wish Walker well. He's a great kid but he's where he belongs.
Lol.hahaha Auburn sucks! The sec is propped up and overrated!

as an auburn fan, i love locked on baylor
Bro I dare Baylor to start dude.. yall not gonna do it cause yall scared and he is
Never was a 5 star
Where are these shots at freeze??? Cmon man
So what's with the Pat's gear? That's where Stidham wound up...also I will never forget Stidham saying "we got this" after Briles was shown the door, and then transferring to Auburn.
He is New England patriots fan too.
Christmas present I got today back home in MA! Always felt the same about Stid…”stick with us”*

As a Stephenville guy, I must say that Stidham disappointed me greatly in how he treated BU. But then I reflect on what a dope I was at that age.
yeah and the dude with the auBUrn tattoo lol
I'm a Walker White fan and hope he does well in his journey but he was NEVER rated as a 5* on literally ANY recruiting service. stop being fake news.
I'm still trying to figure out when he became a 5 Star I guess you do what you can to hype your team up
Will Nate Bennett and their new high school QB recruit leave or decommit?

He was not close to a 5 star ,Auburn has the best future qb in the history of Auburn and he was not number 3 qb man your podcast is a joke 😂
Sic em!!!!! 🐻
He's not
Top 3 recruit?? Where are you getting this stuff bro? Lol major sunshine pumping. He could be a good QB. But still unproven.
Hes a project 2 years he could see action
Glad he’s gone and he was a 4 star

Scared of competition see y'all in September WAR DAMN EAGLE
Auburn fan I believe Walker going to be a good one we let him get away and we let Bo Nix get away let that sink in.
This is pathetic...
Im an Auburn fan and a die hard Auburn fan! And he was our future. So don't act like we didn't want him. Don't paint us in that light. He's a freshmen, he wasn't going to see the field as qb1 he was qb2 or 3. So we know what we had. Arrogant ass dude
Facts.
Exactly he just looking for content and drama. We had a huge talent upgrade in the QB room and he couldnt handle
😂😂😂
If he doesn't transfer out
They bring in another good QB and White will transfer again.
He seems to be a Tim Tebow talent. AU could have won a lot more games with him on the field this past season. But he’s probably a recruiting nightmare at the position for rbs and wrs. Hugh loves his wrs.
He’s getting 4 or 5 unnecessary wrs every year.
