A surprise visitor showed up at Auburn's first practice of fall camp Wednesday.

Former Baylor quarterback Jarrett Stidham was seen chatting with Gus Malzahn during the media's viewing window. The 6-foot-3, 210-pounder announced his intent to transfer from Baylor July 7, and his request was granted July 25. He can transfer to any school outside of the Big 12, but will have to sit out the 2016 season unless he transfers to a junior college.

Stidham was recruited by the Tigers during his prep days at Stephenville High School in Texas. He was ranked as a five-star prospect and the nation's No. 1 dual-threat quarterback by 247Sports. In 2015, his lone season at Baylor, Stidham appeared in 10 games and started three for the Bears. He completed 68.8 percent of his passes for 1,265 yards with 12 touchdowns and two interceptions.

Jeremy Johnson, John Franklin III and Sean White are currently battling for the starting quarterback job on the Plains while redshirt freshman Tyler Queen and true freshman Woody Barrett are on the outside looking in.

Auburn offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee told AL.com this spring the Tigers intend to sign one quarterback in the 2017 recruiting cycle. Athlete Tray Bishop committed to Auburn last month and has been told he will have a chance to play the position.
