Ex-Texas Tech G Kevin Overton joining Auburn
Former Texas Tech guard Kevin Overton is transferring to Auburn, which will be his third team in three seasons.
Overton acknowledged a report from On3.com on his Instagram page Thursday, with a photo indicating the move from the Red Raiders to the Tigers.
Overton averaged 7.8 points and 3.7 rebounds as a valuable reserve for a Texas Tech squad that reached the Elite Eight before losing to eventual champion Florida. He started just once out of 36 games played and shot 33.1 percent from 3-point range.
Overton played his first college season at Drake and averaged 11.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in 35 games (all starts).
Auburn received the commitment from Overton on the same day forward Chad Baker-Mazara entered the transfer portal. All-American Johni Broome is also out of eligibility and is moving on to the NBA.
