Senior rewind: A look back at Allen Flanigan’s Auburn career

He has been a contributor since arriving on campus and has played in over 100 games as an Auburn Tiger.

As the 2022-23 regular season comes to a close, Auburn Wire will begin taking a look back at the careers of Auburn basketball’s senior class, and their accomplishments during their time on the Plains.

After starting out the series with Zep Jasper and Jaylin Williams, next up is [autotag]Allen Flanigan[/autotag].

Flanigan arrived in Auburn as a three-star small forward and immediately became a rotation payer for [autotag]Bruce Pearl[/autotag]. He appeared in all 31 games during the 2019-20 season and averaged 3.2 points and 2.7 rebounds in 13.7 minutes per game.

He took a massive leap as a sophomore, he started all 27 games for the Tigers and led the team in scoring with 14.3 points per game. He also averaged 5.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 30.4 minutes per game.

Flanigan was named to the Coaches’ Preseason All-SEC First Team ahead of his junior season but his season was derailed by an Achilles injury that required surgery in September. While he still appeared in 22 games and made 20 starts he was still recovering and was not his full self. The Little Rock, Arkansas, native still managed to average 6.3 points and 3.5 rebounds.

Further removed from the injury, he has looked more like himself during his senior season, averaging 9.9 points and 4.7 rebounds in 31 games.

Here’s a look back at Allen Flanigan’s career as an Auburn Tiger.

Senior rewind: A look back at Jaylin Williams’ Auburn career

Williams has played for Auburn since 2019.

As the 2022-23 regular season comes to a close, Auburn Wire will begin taking a look back at the careers of Auburn basketball’s senior class, and their accomplishments during their time on the Plains.

After featuring Zep Jasper for our first rewind, the second player in the series is Tigers mainstay[autotag] Jaylin Williams[/autotag].

Williams first came to Auburn during the 2019-20 season as a four-star power forward. He didn’t play too many minutes in his freshman year and didn’t start any games, but his production soared the next year when he started all 27 games he played in. He didn’t play a lot in his junior year, but his senior year this year has arguably been his most productive — he’s averaged 28 minutes a game and is averaging 11.2 points per game, both career highs.

Here is a look back at Williams’ career on the Plains:
