The first significant roster move of the offseason for Auburn basketball has officially dropped.

Jahki Howard, who signed with Auburn as a four-star forward from the 2024 recruiting cycle, announced on his social media pages that he will enter the transfer portal after playing one season on the Plains. Despite revealing his intention to leave the program, he shared that returning to Auburn is one of the possibilities he is exploring.

On Instagram, Howard showed his gratitude to Auburn's coaches, fans, and teammates while reflecting on several accomplishments that he reached during his freshman season.

"I’m incredibly grateful to my coaches, teammates, and the Auburn community for their support. The memories, will stay with me forever, including winning the regular season title in the most competitive conference in the country and our Final Four run."

Howard appeared in 21 games for the Tigers during their Final Four run this season, where he averaged 4.2 points and 1.1 rebounds per game. He connected on 54% of his field goal attempts and 67% of his free throw tries during his time in Auburn. Howard signed with Auburn as part of its talented 2024 class that included Tahaad Pettiford. The Atlanta, Georgia, native was the No. 6 recruit from Georgia and the No. 14 shooting guard in the nation.

Howard joins Johni Broome, Miles Kelly, and Dylan Cardwell in the plethora of players leaving the program. However, he is the first to depart by way of the transfer portal.
