Eastern Kentucky transfer Wendell Green Jr. officially signs with Auburn

Auburn has officially signed Eastern Kentucky transfer guard Wendell Green Jr.

Auburn has gained another guard for the 2021-22 season.

On Thursday, Wendell Green Jr., a transfer from Eastern Kentucky, officially signed with the Tigers.

“Auburn basketball has a history of doing special things with very special undersized point guards,” Bruce Pearl said. “Wendell Green has won at every level, but has always had to prove himself to people. He’s won at La Lumiere School in Indiana, Detroit Country Day in Michigan and last season at Eastern Kentucky. He’s a fierce competitor and he makes everyone he plays with on the floor better.”

As a freshman for the Colonels last season, Green averaged 15.8 points, 5.0 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game. He has four years of eligibility left and is expected to compete with fellow transfer Zep Jasper for the starting point guard position.

Green joins College of Charleston transfer Zep Jasper as incoming players for Auburn that have collegiate experience, something Bruce Pearl needed with the departure of Cooper and Justin Powell.
