George Kimble III - Headed to Auburn Kimble (knee) is headed to Auburn, according to AL.com.

Impact AL.com indicates that Kimble's updated team will be his third. As part of Eastern Kentucky, he not only logged 18.0 points per game but also averaged 2.6 steals and as many three-pointers made. For the Colonels, his injured knee suffered such a bad problem Vanderbilt never used him. Even though Vandy did not utilize Kimble, AL.com indicates that Auburn's team believes in his potential.

APRIL 22 • ROTOWIRE

Adam Olsen - Commits to Auburn Olsen (lower leg) has committed to Auburn, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Olsen is a huge get for Auburn, and he should be a starter right away for them. He averaged 16.7 points per game and made 102 three-point shots in the 2025-26 campaign with South Alabama, so he's a proven scorer at the D1 level.

APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE

Thomas Dowd - Commits to Auburn Dowd has committed to Auburn, Nathan King of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Dowd will make the jump to the SEC after playing the last three seasons with Troy. The 6-foot-8 forward averaged a double-double and shot 33.3 percent from beyond the arc in the 2025-26 campaign. He'll make a great addition to the Tigers' slim forward room for the upcoming season.

APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE

Owen Freeman - Commits to Auburn Freeman has committed to Auburn, according to AL.com.

Impact Even though Freeman's junior season with Creighton was a wash, Auburn will take a chance with the big man, as his size and veteran experience do bring value for a Tiger team that needs some. Not only that, but perhaps Auburn can tap into his Iowa days, when he logged at least 10.0 points and 6.5 rebounds per game in each of his two seasons there.

APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE

Bukky Oboye - Signs with Auburn Oboye has signed with Auburn, according to the team's announcement Friday.

Impact Even though Oboye will make a big jump from a mid-major to an SEC powerhouse, him showing significant improvement has given Auburn's head coach Steven Pearl a lot of optimism potential-wise. After being a reserve for Santa Clara two seasons ago, he became an everyday starter last year, for which his 34 starts feature 7.9 points and 4.1 rebounds in under 20.0 minutes of work.

APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE

Tahaad Pettiford - Announces return to Auburn Pettiford will be returning to Auburn for the 2026-27 season, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.

Impact Pettiford will return to Auburn for a third season after an impressive sophomore campaign. He averaged 15.4 points, 3.8 assists and three rebounds in 32.2 minutes per contest. He will be among one of the most experienced backcourt players in the country and will be a key factor in the Tigers' success in year two under coach Steven Pearl.

APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE

Sebastian Williams-Adams - Returning to Auburn Williams-Adams is returning to Auburn, according to the team's announcement Friday.

Impact According to Nathan King of 247Sports.com, Williams-Adams' next season can feature a freer and more regular role. Even though his post-February games include zero starts, they indicate an improved freshman overall. The 2026 National Invitation Tournament includes Williams-Adams' 8.8 points averaged. During the year's NIT Championship Game, he not only played a tourney-best 36 minutes but also scored 13.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Simon Walker - Staying with Tigers Walker has decided to return to Auburn for the 2026-27 campaign, Justin Hokanson of On3 reports.

Impact Walker will return to Auburn for his second season. The freshman guard averaged 2.5 points across 13 appearances.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Auburn Freshman Forward Planning to Enter Transfer Portal The Auburn Tigers are expected to lose one of their most intriguing players to the transfer portal.

APRIL 7 • SI.COM

Kevin Overton - Returning to Tigers Overton will run it back with Auburn for his senior season, the program announced.

Impact Overton broke out with Auburn in 2025-26. After spending his freshman year at Drake and his sophomore year at Texas Tech, Overton averaged 14.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists with the Tigers, also shooting 41.3 percent from deep across 6.1 attempts per game. This is a huge retention for Auburn, a program with its arrow pointing up after it narrowly missed the NCAA Tournament but won the NIT.
