Bruce Pearl continues to bring the talent to the Plains.
On Thursday evening, 4-star guard Trey Alexander committed to Auburn over Kansas. He is the No. 61 overall player in the 2021 class by 247Sports composite.
Out of Oklahoma City, Alexander is 6-foot-4 and 185 pounds and averaged 26.6 points per game for Heritage Hall as a junior last season.
“I prayed about the decision and committing to Coach Pearl and Auburn is what it came to,” says Alexander. “God led me to this decision. Nothing more. Nothing less.”
Scouting Report: In Alexander, the Tigers program is getting a combo guard comfortable playing with or without the ball in his hands. He is a comfortable scorer who allows the game to slow down for him to be clever and instinctual in creating his own scoring opportunities. Alexander has also developed into a reliable off-the-dribble playmaker who can get his teammates involved through his herky-jerky penetration. The defensive upside is there as well with good length, decent lateral mobility, and the instincts to blossom on that end as well. He is a proven winner and competitor that is aware of the work he will have to put in to earn early minutes in the SEC.
Alexander joins 5-star power forward Jabari Smith as the two hard commits for the 2021 Auburn class.
