Former Stanford quarterback Ashton Daniels to transfer to Auburn

Former Stanford quarterback Ashton Daniels told On3 Sports Monday that he would be transferring to Auburn next season. Daniels will likely play backup to Jackson Arnold, who transferred to the Tigers from Oklahoma.

Daniels recorded 1,700 yards passing, 10 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions during the 2024 season. He also ran for 669 yards, displaying an impressive ability to improvise and escape the pocket. Daniels is the second Stanford player to commit to a SEC school after right tackle Luke Baklenko announced his commitment to Oklahoma earlier on Monday.

With Daniels and redshirt junior quarterback Justin Lamson transferring, incoming freshman Bear Bachmeier and true freshman Elijah Brown will look to compete for the starting quarterback job. Additionally, the Cardinal could also be looking out for a veteran quarterback to poach out of the transfer portal.
