Auburn basketball continues to build a formidable roster through the transfer portal, landing a commitment from highly sought-after forward Elyjah Freeman. The 6-foot-7 standout becomes the Tigers’ sixth addition from the portal this offseason, further bolstering head coach Bruce Pearl’s squad for the upcoming campaign.
Freeman drew significant interest from major programs across the country and ultimately chose Auburn over offers from Indiana, Tennessee, and several others. He spent last season at Lincoln Memorial University, a Division II powerhouse, where he turned heads with his dominant two-way play. Freeman averaged 18.8 points and 9.2 rebounds per game, showcasing a versatile offensive skill set and a relentless presence on the glass.
Known for his athleticism, motor, and ability to guard multiple positions, Freeman is expected to make an immediate impact at Auburn, bringing size, experience, and scoring ability to the frontcourt. His commitment reflects Auburn’s aggressive and strategic approach in the transfer portal as the Tigers aim to remain competitive in the SEC and on the national stage.
With Freeman on board, Auburn’s roster continues to take shape with a mix of veteran talent and emerging stars, positioning the team for another deep postseason run.
