1 day ago | 247sports.com | Nathan King

Tahaad Pettiford is obviously garnering the bulk of attention from Auburn in this year's NBA draft process, but a few other Tigers are looking to make waves as they head toward the professional route, too.

Auburn would love to see Johni Broome selected highly in the NBA Draft. But the program will be biting its nails over the pro prospects of its freshman point guard. A day after the NBA Draft lottery order has been set, with the Dallas Mavericks securing the No. 1 overall pick despite entering the lottery with a 1.8% chance to do so, ESPN's Jonathan Givony has both Broome and Tahaad Pettiford projected as second-round picks.

There's no doubt Auburn has some star power at its disposal in 2025.

Auburn's coaching staff made it clear last season that they aren't afraid to throw freshmen into the fire. The Tigers led all of college football in 2024 in snaps among true freshmen, with a large number of those coming on defense.

There may not be a more revered source of praise in the entire college football industry than that of Pete Jenkins. The longtime LSU defensive line coach had one of the most respected careers of any assistant in the sport, with his first FBS job coming in 1973, spanning all the way to just a few seasons ago at LSU. That also includes a stop at Auburn under Terry Bowden in the late '90s. Nowadays, Jenkins still makes visits as a consultant for defensive line rooms across the country.

As such, he did not enter the transfer portal while submitting his name into the NBA draft process.
