In a surprise move that has Auburn fans buzzing, forward Keyshawn Hall has officially withdrawn from the 2025 NBA Draft, choosing instead to return to the Tigers for another season. Hall, who averaged 11.5 points and 6.2 rebounds last season, was widely expected to test the professional waters after Auburn’s Final Four run — but he’s not done making noise in college hoops.
With the Tigers losing their entire starting lineup to graduation and transfers, Hall’s return provides a much-needed anchor and leadership presence for Bruce Pearl’s reloading squad. His decision signals unfinished business — and possibly a plan to raise his draft stock even higher next season.
Could Hall’s loyalty and firepower make Auburn a dark horse contender once again? One thing’s for sure: The SEC better be ready.
