Auburn basketball continues to solidify its future, securing a significant addition to its 2025 recruiting class with the commitment of four-star forward Sebastian Williams-Adams. The 6-foot-8 prospect from Atlanta, Georgia, announced his decision on Monday, choosing the Tigers over several high-profile programs, including Alabama, Florida, and Tennessee.
Williams-Adams is widely regarded as one of the most versatile forwards in the 2025 class, boasting a blend of athleticism, skill, and basketball IQ that makes him a perfect fit for Auburn’s high-octane system under head coach Bruce Pearl. Known for his ability to impact both ends of the floor, he excels in transition offense, displays a soft touch around the rim, and has shown significant improvement in his three-point shooting. Defensively, his length and quickness allow him to guard multiple positions effectively.

With the addition of Williams-Adams, the Tigers are positioning themselves as a force in the SEC for years to come.
“Sebastian brings a lot to the table,” said Pearl in a statement. “He’s a competitor, a great teammate, and a hard worker. We’re thrilled to have him as part of our program and believe he has the tools to make an immediate impact.”
