Auburn Lands Canadian Sharpshooter Adam Olsen

The Auburn Tigers have significantly strengthened their roster by adding South Alabama transfer Adam Olsen. The 6'8" forward from Canada is recognized as one of college basketball's top three-point shooters. Olsen's offensive versatility also includes mid-range proficiency and the ability to finish through contact at the rim, making him a challenging matchup for opponents. He brings significant scoring prowess, having averaged 16.7 points and 4.1 rebounds per game for the Jaguars last season.

Olsen's arrival is part of Auburn's strategic effort to build depth, especially in the frontcourt. He joins four other forward acquisitions, including French seven-footer Narcisse Ngoy, former Big Ten Freshman of the Year Owen Freeman, and Bukky Oboye. This influx of talent aims to provide coach Steven Pearl with numerous options and foster strong team chemistry for a potential deep run in the 2027 NCAA Tournament.
