Missouri transfer Xavier Pinson could be a key factor in the Auburn offense if he decides to come to the Plains.

Auburn is in play for another talented transfer guard.

On Wednesday, Bruce Pearl and the Tigers’ staff offered a scholarship to Xavier Pinson who on Tuesday announced that he is transferring from Missouri.

As a junior in 2020-21, the Chicago native averaged 13.6 points, 2.9 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game. With the departure of Justin Powell and Jamal Johnson, the Tigers could use his experience and scoring at the guard position.

Auburn picked up a commitment from College of Charleston guard Zep Jasper last week.
