Five-star forward Chris Cenac lists Auburn among top schools

2025 five-star power forward Chris Cenac announced his list of top 12 schools on Friday. The No. 5 recruit in the class, Cenac cut his choices down to Auburn, Arkansas, Alabama, Baylor, Houston, Kentucky, Louisville, LSU Michigan State, Tennessee, Texas, and UConn.

The 6-foot-10, 210-pound big man averaged a double-double last season at Newman High school in New Orleans. Now a more coveted recruit, Cenac chose to transfer to Link Academy in Branson, MO for his senior year, where he is set to team up with Andre Iguodala Jr., the son of NBA Champion and NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala.

A native of New Orleans, LA, the No. 2 power forward in the 2025 class has yet to take an official visit to any of the aforementioned schools, although he did spent time at both LSU and Houston unofficially. He is aiming to make his choice in the first few months of 2025, making it very possible Bruce Pearl and the Tigers host him on an official visit at some point during the first half of the season.

With Johni Broome and Dylan Cardwell entering their final year of eligibility and the Auburn front court depth murky behind them, Bruce Pearl and his staff could make a serious push to land Cenac as the 2024 comes to a close.
