Gus Malzahn is apparently in the market for another transfer quarterback.
Oklahoma's Austin Kendall, who entered his name in the NCAA Transfer Portal last week, visited Auburn on Monday, according to a picture posted on his Instagram story.
According to a report from Rivals's Schuyler Callihan, Kendall visited West Virginia this morning as well.
A fourth-year junior, Kendall would be immediately eligible for two years as a graduate transfer. Rated as the No. 9 pro-style QB in the nation in the 2015 class, Kendall sat behind Heisman trophy winners Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray for the past three seasons.
Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley and the Sooners will be bringing in the nation's No. 1 pro-style quarterback, Spencer Rattler, in the summer. Alabama transfer quarterback Jalen Hurts could also join the roster as the former SEC Offensive Player of the Year visited OU over the weekend.
With four-star 2019 prospect Bo Nix already on campus, Auburn's current quarterback room consists of Nix, rising junior Malik Willis, and rising sophomores Joey Gatewood and Cord Sandberg. The returning Tigers have no combined starts between them.
Kendall would be the second transfer quarterback pursued by Malzahn and staff recently as Clemson transfer Kelly Bryant had Auburn as his No. 2 choice when he chose to sign with Missouri last month.
