Payton Thorne's private trainer is no stranger to talented quarterbacks. And fortunately for Auburn, Thorne, who has been named the Tigers' starter, fits that same mold.
, Freeze went on to say that the other guys in the huddle have a different look in their eyes when Thorne is under center. Freeze said it’s a look he can’t explain.
“It’s one of those things in high school, when you’re going to be a college quarterback, you can rely on talent,” Hewlett said. “But when you get to the next level, things have to be tightened up fundamentally and we need to get better in areas. That’s kinda where everything started.” “He was somewhat unstable in terms of how he approached the throw,” Hewlett said. “And so we really put him in a position where he was more consistent with his feet and his lower body. And then his upper body was synced up really, really well. That kinda led up to his first year starting at Michigan State.”
So Thorne made the decision to enter the transfer portal – something Hewlett says felt mutual between Thorne and the Spartans’ program. When anyone at any position makes that move, people love to speculate whether or not they’ll be ready to play in the SEC on Saturdays.Hewlett worked with Ian Book when he was at Notre Dame. And Hewlett can recall Book saying there was a noticeable difference in the play of the defensive backs when the Fighting Irish played Georgia on Sept. 21, 2019 in a game that saw Book toss two interceptions.“But the good thing for Payton is he’s on an SEC team.
