Auburn hosting a pair of four-star power forwards this weekend

Auburn basketball is set to host a pair of top 50 recruiting targets this weekend, as 2025 four-star power forward Sebastian Williams-Adams and 2026 four-star power forward Jalan Wingfield are scheduled to spend some time on the Plains. The former, Houston, Texas native Sebastian Williams-Adams, will be in Auburn for an official visit while Wingfield’s visit is designated as unofficial.

A consensus top 40 recruit in the 2025 class, Williams-Adams is a 6-foot-8, 230 pound power forward who has visits scheduled to Kansas (Sept. 13), Purdue (Sept. 20), SMU (Sept. 27), and Oklahoma State (Oct.4) later this fall. He also spent time in College Station last weekend on an official visit to Texas A&M.

The high school senior led St. Johns High School in nearly every statistical category during their 26-7 season in 2023. His 21.1 points and 10 rebounds per game as a junior make him one of the more intriguing inside threats heading into the 2025 recruiting cycle.

As for Jalan Wingfield, the 2026 four-star power forward has an extremely similar build to Williams-Adams despite being a year younger. The Atlanta, GA native stands at 6-foot-8, 225 pounds, and is a consensus top 50 recruit in the 2026 class. While he is yet to take an official visit, Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Cincinnati, Florida State, and Georgia Tech have all offered the star high school forward a scholarship.

We’ll see if Bruce Pearl and the Auburn coaching staff can convince either prospective Tiger to lean towards committing this weekend. A good showing from Hugh Freeze, Payton Thorne, and the Auburn student section could help out the basketball coaching staff as well.
