Newton will follow in his older brother’s footsteps, Cam Newton, and transfer to Auburn.

Newton, who entered the transfer portal in October, is a preferred walk-on at Auburn and will be immediately eligible to play as a graduate transfer.
A three-year starter at Howard, Newton appeared in four games in 2019, passing for 815 yards and six touchdowns before declaring he would transfer during what was a tumultuous time within the football program.
Newton was named 2018 MEAC Offensive Player of the Year and was an FCS All-American following his sophomore season.
