Auburn Tigers receive commitment from blue-chip point guard

The Auburn Tigers have received a commitment from four-star point guard Jason Gardner Jr., according to Joe Tipton of Rivals.

The Tigers have been recruiting the 6-foot-1, 185-pounder since Dec. 20, 2025, when they offered him a scholarship. He picked them over the Florida Gators, Indiana Hoosiers, Stanford Cardinal, and DePaul Blue Demons. He made his first trip to Auburn on Sept. 19 for his official visit, and eight days later he made his commitment.
