On Tuesday, another member of Auburn basketball’s 2025–2026 team was confirmed.
Keyshawn Hall, a transfer from UCF, has confirmed his spot on the team for the next season by withdrawing from the NBA Draft. Hall’s name was left off of the NBA’s official list of the 106 players who submitted their applications to be early entry candidates for the NBA Draft on Tuesday.
Three days after declaring for the draft on March 25, Hall logged into the transfer site. He finally became Bruce Pearl and the staff’s first commitment out of the portal after that, which brought him to Auburn.
With an average of 18.8 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, Hall topped the Big 12 in scoring at UCF the previous season. His height of 6′ 7″ and weight of 235 pounds allow him to play a variety of positions for Auburn.
“He is just a matchup nightmare for the opponent,” Pearl stated in a press statement. “I believed that his desire to win a championship and finish his college career on top was the main factor in his decision.”
Auburn is still awaiting a decision from a returning player after Hall withdrew from the draft. Shortly after Auburn’s elimination from the Final Four, Tahaad Pettiford declared for the draft while still eligible to attend college, and his name was on the list made public by the NBA.
For Pettiford to keep his collegiate eligibility, he must opt out of the draft by May 28.
