COMMITMENT: USF freshman QB transfer Locklan Hewlett commits to Auburn
USF freshman quarterback Locklan Hewlett will transfer to Auburn, he announced Saturday on social media.
Hewlett’s decision will reunite him with new Auburn coach Alex Golesh and offensive coordinator Joel Gordon.
“I believe in the coaching staff, and believe it’s the best staff in the country,” Hewlett said.
Hewlett signed with USF as a member of the 2025 class. He played in two games as a true freshman, completing 7-of-12 passes for 90 yards and a touchdown. Hewlett has four years of eligibility at Auburn.
Hewlett is the second quarterback Auburn has added in Golesh’s first class. Rhys Brush signed with the Tigers in December. The two young quarterbacks should provide depth in the room that needs it. Former starters Jackson Arnold, Ashton Daniels and Deuce Knight all are transferring leaving Auburn without any scholarship quarterbacks.

In addition to depth, Auburn also is looking for a starting quarterback and likely will focus hard on USF starter Byrum Brown.
