Kelly Bryant is having a change of plans.

The former Clemson quarterback, one of the top names on the early graduate transfer market, has canceled his official visit to Miami and will instead take his final official visit to Auburn, according to a report by Rivals.com. Bryant was originally scheduled to take his last official visit to UM’s campus in Coral Gables, Fla., this weekend following a planned midweek unofficial visit to Auburn. Now that’s off the table, as Bryant will no longer visit the Hurricanes and instead travel to the Plains next week following the Iron Bowl.

Bryant previously took an unofficial midweek visit to Auburn late last month. He is expected to make his transfer decision Dec. 4.

It’s a promising change of events for Auburn, which may be breaking in a new quarterback next season should Jarrett Stidham declare early for the NFL Draft, as many expect. Stidham has not yet made a decision on his future public, saying Saturday after Auburn’s 53-0 win against Liberty that he will think about his future after this weekend’s Iron Bowl. When asked if that meant he will have a decision made prior to Auburn’s bowl game, Stidham demured.

“I mean, your guess is as good as mine," Stidham said. "I really don’t know at this point. Obviously, once the season is over, I’ll take a better look at it.”

If Stidham were to declare early, Bryant could step right in at Auburn, which is set to return three scholarship quarterbacks -- Malik Willis, Cord Sandberg and Joey Gatewood -- while bringing on 2019 commit Bo Nix, the nation’s No. 1 dual-threat quarterback. Bryant is far more experienced than any of those options, and Gus Malzahn has had success with transfer quarterbacks in their first year at Auburn. That was the case with Cam Newton in 2010, Nick Marshall in 2013 and Stidham last season.

Bryant played in 30 games at Clemson, with 18 starts, passing for 3,333 yards, 16 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while completing 310-of-469 passes (66.1 percent). He also rushed for 987 yards and 16 touchdowns during his time at Clemson, averaging 3.8 yards per run.

Bryant announced his plans to transfer from Clemson in September after he was supplanted as the team’s starting quarterback by freshman sensation Trevor Lawrence. Bryant left before appearing in more than four games so as to take advantage of the NCAA’s new redshirt rule, salvaging a year of eligibility while seeking a graduate transfer destination.

Bryant previously took official visits to Arkansas, Missouri and North Carolina, and last weekend he visited Mississippi State. His fifth visit will now go to Auburn.
