Elyjah Freeman Joins Texas Longhorns

Elyjah Freeman, Auburn Tigers small forward, has committed to the Texas Longhorns, marking the second departure from last seasons squad. Freeman, a sophomore, spent one year at Auburn after transferring from Division Two Lincoln Memorial. He started in 21 out of 38 games during the 2025-2026 season, averaging 9.2 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. His performance improved in the postseason NIT run, averaging 10 points and 7.6 rebounds across five games. Freemans future at Auburn was uncertain, with rumors of a possible return even after entering the transfer portal. However, he has now officially joined the Longhorns, leaving Auburn to find wing help in the transfer portal. Forward Sebastian Williams-Adams has decided to stay for another year, and coach Steven Pearl may move him to the wing to fill the gap left by Freeman.
