Former Florida State quarterback John Franklin III is planning to transfer to Auburn, according to ESPNâ€™s Joe Schad.

Franklin, a three-star prospect in the 2013 class, announced he was transferring from FSU in the spring. He spent the past season at East Mississippi Community College.

Schad says he plans on announcing the news today.

Franklin spent the majority of his time at Florida State as a backup.

Maybe he can catch the ball.

How's his complexion?

He'll get moved to WR, alongside all the other Dual Threat QBs with small hands.

Let's just say Proactiv is not beating down his door.

Another nice "Fuck You" to Sean White doing everything he's being asked to do and exceeding expectations...

Sean has nothing to worry about with this guy, he'll get moved to WR. Now, if we signed JUCO QB Jerod Evans...then yeah, Sean might want to transfer, b/c Evans is a freakin badass.

I take that back, this kid supposedly has a cannon for a arm and can run very fast (4.38 40, 6.82 in the 60m, sub 11 in the 100m, All-ACC track & field team)...his only problem was accuracy coming out of High School and he was coached by Coach Fisher & Coach Craig at FSU, so that should give him a leg up in dismissing whatever Coach Malzahn and Lashlee try to teach him.

I'm not sure he is exceeding expectations. Everything he has participated in since high school, he has excelled. I can see him taking us places if we can get guys that can catch the damn ball.

Like I've said before, Coach Malzahn does better with a true dual threat QB. JF3 might be the man at QB next year. If that's the case what do you think Sean White should do?

Keep in mind, Auburn also has a incoming freshman in Dual Threat Elite 11 QB Woody Barrett (6'2" 225lbs 4.6 40) that has ran the Zone Read all throughout his high school career.

Apparently, we are still in the hunt for a tight end.

Not sure why, we never use the ones we have. If I was a high ranked TE, or any TE that has NFL aspirations, I wouldn't even look at Auburn.

I just feel for Sean.

Why was he recruited? Why are we wasting his time? Guy is a solid QB. Has all the tools and intangibles. And it seems we are throwing in the towel on him before he has even been given a shot to be great. If only he was given half the opportunity of golden boy Mr INT Triple Coverage Yips.

I've heard the question numerous times in recent days. What does this mean for Sean? I don't think it means squat for Sean and I don't think we need to look at it as if it does. Look, there's about 130 D1 teams and every single one of them would sign a stud QB...or two, every single year if they could. 3 years ago, Georgia had four 5-star QB's on their roster. The only question the last few years at Bama was which 5-star QB is going to win the job?

Last week, Sean White was a game time decision. He's still questionable this week. If he can't go at any point this season, our back ups are a functional retard who has thrown 547 interceptions in 3 games....and a back up WR who played QB a few games 3 years ago. You can never be too deep at QB.

And why did we sign Queen!

If SW is NOT the QB next season, I'm in line to consider a total philosophy change.

If you can't coach a normal QB, why the hell would you sign one! Or TWO!

Just put Tubs in and wait for another QB/ATHLETE to save the program!

Exactly.

You nancies need to simmer down. If Sean White is the best QB, he will play. If he's not. He won't.

I thought one was called back because of a defense hold?

I think the difference here, given our past, is that they go out and get a JUCO guy. If they had signed several guys and had them compete and one of them came out the winner, then I'm good. If your starter has to fight it out every year, it doesn't allow time for mental comfort. And a QB has to have time be comfortable to grow. (most of the time)

I guess Spurrious showed it can be done. But I'm not sure it makes for good team atmosphere.

The fact that we seem to look at JUCO for our QBs is starting to tell a tale. If I were a 5 star QB, I wold think twice about signing here. (If we go this route again)
