Former South Carolina quarterback Tanner Bailey is headed to Auburn. Bailey, a three-star quarterback i n the Class of 2022, spent two seasons at South Carolina as a backup to Spencer Rattler before entering the transfer portal and later announcing his retirement last winter.

Auburn football brought in its fourth quarterback over the offseason signing Tanner Bailey per 247sports. A former Class of 2022 recruit out of Gordo, Bailey signed with South Carolina and retired from football in January of 2024.

The original plan for Hugh Freeze and the Auburn coaching staff was to sign two transfer quarterbacks this offseason. Freeze achieved that goal by landing former Oklahoma quarterback Jackson Arnold and ex-Stanford quarterback Ashton Daniels.
