The Auburn Tigers basketball team has announced the addition of Thomas Dowd, a transfer from Troy University. Dowd, a native of Dothan, Alabama, has had a successful career at Troy, averaging 14.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 2.1 assists during his junior season. His performance earned him a spot on the All-Sun Belt First-team, and he recorded 18 double-doubles last season. Dowd is recognized as the No. 82 overall player and No. 19 power forward in the transfer portal by 247Sports. He becomes the third transfer added to Auburn's frontcourt this offseason, joining Bukky Oboye from Santa Clara and Owen Freeman from Creighton. These additions are particularly important as the team faces departures of key players, including starting forward Keyshawn Hall and starting center KeShawn Murphy.
