Kevin Overton - Puts up 26 in exhibition Overton led the Tigers with 26 points (6-17 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 8-10 FT) with three rebounds and two assists in 34 minutes in the exhibition loss to Alabama on Thursday.

Impact The 6-5 guard decided to stay at Auburn for the second straight season after starting 36 games and provided 14.1 points in 2025-26. He hit a career-high 41.3 percent of his 3-pointers. The Drake and Texas Tech transfer should be a steady starter for the Tigers and be among the team's leading scorers.

Tahaad Pettiford - Scores 20 in exhibition Pettiford scored a team-high 20 points (6-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT) with two assists and three steals in the exhibition loss to Florida State on Wednesday.

Impact Pettiford averaged 15.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists last season. He only hit 29.0 percent of his 3-pointers, so a modest uptick in long-range accuracy could see the 6-1 junior among the best scorers in the SEC. Pettiford should command plenty of playing time for the Tigers.

George Kimble III - Plays in exhibition Kimble (hand) played 22 minutes in the exhibition loss to Florida State on Wednesday. He provided six points (2-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and five assists before fouling...

Impact Kimble had missed an early August exhibition, but was back on the court as the regular season nears. The 6-2 guard averaged 18.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists two seasons ago with Eastern Kentucky, but did not play last season with Vanderbilt due to a knee injury incurred at the end of the 2024-25 season. Kimble could join Tahaad Pettiford and Kevin Overton as one of the best backcourts in the SEC.

Owen Freeman - Not playing Wednesday Freeman (foot) is out for Wednesday's exhibition game against Florida State, Justin Hokanson of On3.com reports.

Kolby King - Granted temporary eligibility King is eligible to play for the time being, according to Justin Ferguson of AuburnObserver.com.

Impact Ferguson is currently cleared to suit up for the 2026-27 season, but a final, definitive call on his status has yet to be made. More clarity should surface as the regular season inches closer.

Owen Freeman - Progressing well from foot injury Auburn's head coach Steve Pearl announced Tuesday that Freeman (foot) is progressing well, Nathan King of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact This is another encouraging recovery update for Freeman after he remained sidelined during preseason practices. Even if he is available for the start of the season, a potential minutes restriction could limit his early workload, but it would be no different from his early-season start with Creighton last season. Auburn will not look to rush Freeman back, focusing on the long game of what will be a rigorous college basketball schedule.

His absence from preseason work bears watching, but the expectation that he'll be ready for the opener suggests he remains on track for the start of the campaign.
