Newton, a 6-foot quarterback, will be eligible to play immediately. He enters a program with an established starter at QB in, Bo Nix, He is the son of Auburn great Pat Nix and started every game for the Tigers last season.

He was also named SEC Freshman of the Year.

Newton began last season at Howard University as the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Preseason Player of the Year. He won Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Rookie of the Year as a freshman and was named the conference’s Offensive Player of the Year as a sophomore.

However, he left the team in October and announced his intention to transfer.
