Auburn basketball experienced a complete roster overhaul during the offseason as many of its stars graduated or found other opportunities through the transfer portal.
The Tigers will have a fresh starting lineup this season, as last season’s Final Four starters have departed from the program. Bruce Pearl will work to replace the production of graduating stars, such as forward Johni Broome, sharp-shooting Miles Kelly, and floor general Denver Jones. However, Auburn found success within the transfer portal by landing several talented frontcourt additions, such as Mississippi State forward Keshawn Murphy and UCF forward Keyshawn Hall. Pearl also dipped into junior college and the international circuit to fill out his roster by landing Abdul Bashir from Casper College, and two players with center-esque size in Emeka Opurum and Filip Jovic.

Despite adding many new names, Auburn will have one key player from last season’s Final Four squad in Tahaad Pettiford. As a freshman, Pettiford averaged 11.6 points per game with 3.0 assists and 2.2 rebounds while serving as the backup point guard. He is projected to lead the Tigers as the floor general this season.
Here’s a look at Auburn’s revamped roster, complete with new jersey numbers for the 2025-26 season.
