FWIW Mikecb says FSU has expanded their QB search because of what Fields has told them. They like Corral a lot and will look harder into him. FSU still feels they can get JF but think it's close between AU & UGA with them being 3rd right now.
All I hear is "cautious" pro AU sentiments.
Does anyone really think Bowlcut is going to change his stripes for one FR QB?

Not sure how the numbers work, but we seem to always have a lot of Walk-ons that earn scholarships.
Auburn awarded scholarships to six walk-ons on Thursday.
H-back Keenan Sweeney, wide receivers Will Hastings and Griffin King, offensive lineman Tucker Brown, defensive lineman Gary Walker and linebacker Chase Ritter each earned scholarships for the 2017 season, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
Sweeney, a redshirt-junior, was also on scholarship last year, when he appeared in three games.
Hastings, a former kicker, had 11 receptions for 98 yards and a touchdown last season. The junior is vying for a starting role as Auburn "3" slot receiver, which is usually on the field in four and five wide sets.
Brown, a junior, appeared in every game in 2016 as a blocking tight end and on special teams.
Walker, son of the former Auburn and NFL lineman, appeared in three games and recorded two tackles, including one in the end zone against ULM for a safety.
"Long time ago my brother asked me why I was ok with walking on," Walker wrote via Instagram. "I simply told him 'because I have faith in myself.' I'm honored to say that my words held their meaning, and now I am officially on scholarship for the Orange and Blue!!"
King, a redshirt-sophomore, appeared in five games on specials teams last season and recorded one tackle.
