Auburn University announced the signing of Kevin Overton, a 6-foot-5 combo guard, on Friday. Overton, who previously played at Drake and Texas Tech, was described by Coach Bruce Pearl as a “winner” known for his tough, physical defense and three-point shooting skills. In his two-year collegiate career, Overton has averaged 14.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per 40 minutes. He joins a class of eight new players at Auburn, including five freshmen and two other transfers.
The Tigers are looking to build on their success, having won at least 25 games in six of the last seven seasons and making two national semifinal appearances in the NCAA Tournament under Pearl. With the addition of Overton and the other freshmen, Auburn aims to maintain their winning ways in the upcoming season. Pearl has shown a balance in recruiting both young talents and experienced players who can guide the team to continued success.
Auburn is in pursuit of its first national championship appearance, with the hopes that players like Overton can contribute to the team’s culture and success on the court. As the college basketball world gears up for the new season, the addition of Overton to the Auburn roster brings high expectations for both the team and the player as they work toward their goals in the coming year.
