Auburn has secured its second transfer portal acquisition.
Mississippi State transfer KeShawn Murphy will play for the Tigers next season, he announced Tuesday.
The 6-foot-10 forward averaged 11.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game in his junior year. Murphy played for Mississippi State in all three seasons of his collegiate career before deciding to transfer to Auburn.
The Alabama native will remain in the SEC to play for a team that led the conference for most of the season, including a conference-best 15-3 regular season record.
Auburn has also added UCF transfer Keyshawn Hall, a move they made while preparing to play in San Antonio for the Final Four. Auburn was eliminated in the Final Four by the eventual champion Florida Gators.
