Quarterback Tyler Queen announced on Tuesday that he would be transferring from Auburn.
Queen, who would have been a redshirt sophomore next season, underwent surgery causing him to miss the 2015 season. Queen saw the field only once this past season, and finished his Auburn career with one rush attempt for 11 yards and zero passing attempts.
"First off, I would like to thank the Auburn Family for all their continued support through the good times and the bad times since the first day I stepped on campus," Queen wrote. I'll always have a special place in my heart for the best fans in college football. I want to thank the coaches for the opportunity to be a student-athlete here at Auburn.
"Although I've had a great 2 1/2 years here, I feel like I haven't had a chance to show the player I am capable of being. After a lot of prayer and discussion with my family, I feel it is time for me to transfer and explore other opportunities. I feel this is what's best for me and my family.
Queen was expected to be in a similar position this spring, behind quarterbacks Jarrett Stidham, Sean White, Woody Barrett and true freshman Malik Wills.
