AUBURN — Auburn freshman Yohan Traore will transfer, On3 Sports’ Joe Tipton reports.

Auburn Live wrote about the changing basketball roster last week, and in it, we talked about Traore being a likely transfer considering Johni Broome and Jaylin Williams were likely to return.

Here’s Tipton’s report:

Auburn forward Yohan Traore, a former five-star recruit, plans to enter the transfer portal, he told On3.

The 6-foot-10, 225-pound freshman from France averaged 2.1 points and 1.4 rebounds on the year. Traore played in 25 games and averaged 9.8 minutes per game. Auburn ended the year with an overall record of 21-13.

Yohan Troare sent the following statement to On3:

“I am grateful to be a part of the Auburn Tiger community. My time in Auburn has taught me lessons that extend far beyond the basketball court. I have given 100% to the University on and off of the court. A heartfelt thanks to Coach Pearl for recruiting me and giving me the opportunity to play at Auburn. I also want to thank the entire Auburn staff for giving me the opportunity to play under their leadership this past year. To my teammates, thank you for always being by my side, you guys have become family to me.
