Auburn basketball just got a major boost as head coach Bruce Pearl officially announced the addition of a highly skilled and experienced guard, to the Tigers’ roster. Hildreth, who previously played at Wake Forest, brings a dynamic skill set and leadership qualities that will immediately strengthen Auburn’s backcourt as they prepare for another competitive season in the SEC.
The 6-foot-4 guard from England has steadily made a name for himself in college basketball with his versatile scoring ability, strong defensive presence, and high basketball IQ. During his time at Wake Forest, Hildreth averaged double-digit points while showcasing impressive rebounding skills for a guard. His experience in high-level competition makes him a perfect fit for Pearl’s fast-paced system at Auburn.
“Cameron is a guy who brings toughness, energy, and a relentless work ethic,” Pearl said in a statement. “He’s been battle-tested in the ACC, and we believe his experience will make an immediate impact in our program.”
With the addition of Hildreth, Auburn adds depth to an already talented roster. His ability to score at all three levels, facilitate the offense, and play physical defense will complement the Tigers’ existing guards.
Hildreth’s arrival comes at a crucial time, as Auburn looks to reload after key departures while still maintaining its status as an SEC powerhouse. His leadership and experience could be the missing piece that helps the Tigers make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
Hildreth had several options in the transfer portal but ultimately chose Auburn, citing Pearl’s coaching philosophy, the program’s winning culture, and the passionate fanbase as key factors in his decision.
“Auburn felt like the perfect place for me,” Hildreth said. “Coach Pearl runs a system that fits my game, and I’m excited to compete at the highest level with this team. The fans, the atmosphere—it’s everything you want as a player.”
With Hildreth in the fold, Auburn continues to position itself as a top contender in the SEC. The Tigers are expected to make additional moves in the transfer portal as Pearl looks to solidify the roster heading into the upcoming season.
For now, Auburn fans can celebrate the addition of a tough, skilled guard who is ready to leave his mark on the program. With Hildreth’s talent, experience, and hunger for success, the Tigers just became even more dangerous.
