Four-Star Elite Guard Kaden Magwood Commits to Auburn Over Alabama, Kentucky, and Tennessee
The Auburn Tigers basketball program secured a major recruiting victory with the commitment of Kaden Magwood, a four-star elite sophomore guard from the 2025 class. Magwood, one of the most dynamic backcourt prospects in the country, chose Auburn over powerhouse programs Alabama, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
Standing at 6-foot-3, Magwood is known for his elite scoring ability, court vision, and defensive tenacity. His commitment is a significant addition to Bruce Pearl’s roster as the Tigers continue to build a nationally competitive program. Magwood has been a standout performer on the high school circuit and in AAU competition, earning recognition as one of the top guards in his class.
Auburn’s fast-paced, high-energy system under Pearl played a key role in Magwood’s decision. The Tigers have developed a strong reputation for developing guards, with recent success stories like Sharife Cooper and Jared Harper. Magwood cited the coaching staff’s vision for his development and the program’s competitive culture as major factors in his commitment.
His decision is a setback for Alabama, Kentucky, and Tennessee, all of whom were heavily pursuing the talented guard. Magwood’s versatility and ability to create his own shot make him a perfect fit for Auburn’s offensive system. His commitment boosts Auburn’s 2025 recruiting class, reinforcing the Tigers’ status as a premier destination for elite talent.
With Magwood on board, Auburn continues to solidify its future, adding another high-level prospect to its growing pipeline of top recruits. Fans can expect the talented guard to make an immediate impact when he arrives on campus.
