Overview
- Freeman, a 6-foot-10 forward with one year of eligibility, committed to Auburn through the transfer portal.
- He joins 7-footers Bukky Oboye and Narcisse Ngoy to rebuild a frontcourt that lacked a true center last season.
- At Iowa, he won 2023–24 Big Ten Freshman of the Year and followed with 16.7 points and 6.7 rebounds per game as a sophomore.
- His year at Creighton was limited by a knee issue, with 26 appearances at 11.9 minutes per game and averages of 5.0 points and 4.0 rebounds.
- A prior bond with assistant Matt Gatens, who coached him at Iowa, factored into the decision, and Freeman says he aims to regain form and reach his first NCAA Tournament.
