Auburn guard, former 5-star prospect enters transfer portal

Auburn’s star freshman guard will reportedly enter the transfer portal.

One of the biggest SEC names to enter the transfer portal up to this point in the offseason happened Tuesday, as Auburn Tigers guard Aden Holloway is reportedly entering his name into the portal after one season in the program.

Holloway originally came to Auburn a year ago as the headline newcomer of the Tigers offseason. Prior to Auburn, Holloway was considered as a five-star prospect out of Prolific Prep in California, as well as one of the nation’s best point guards in the 2023 class.

This past season, Holloway started 26-of-35 games for the SEC Tournament champions, averaging 7.3 PPG, 1.5 RPG, and 2.7 APG on 31.8% shooting from the field. A SEC All-Freshman selection, Holloway also shot 30.2% from three, as well as 77.4% at the free throw line.

Likely the Tigers projected starting point guard in 2024-25, Holloway is now the third Auburn player to enter the transfer portal so far this offseason, as he joins fellow guards K.D. Johnson and Tre Donaldson.
