Auburn Lands South Alabama Sharpshooter Adam Olsen in Fourth Portal Addition

Auburn is betting on elite perimeter shooting to reshape its roster through experienced transfers.

Overview

  • South Alabama forward Adam Olsen announced his transfer to Auburn for the 2026–27 season, and the program confirmed the move in a team release.
  • Olsen hit 39.5% from three last season and averaged 16.7 points, leading the Sun Belt in three-pointers made per game and in three-point percentage.
  • Auburn coach Steven Pearl called Olsen one of the best three-point shooters in college basketball in the team’s announcement.
  • He spent one season at South Alabama after starting his college career at the University of British Columbia, and he did not appear in South Alabama’s NIT game against Auburn.
  • He becomes Auburn’s fourth transfer-portal addition this offseason, joining Bukky Oboye, Owen Freeman and Thomas Dowd as the Tigers seek more perimeter punch.
