Auburn sophomore guard New Williams has been granted a release from his scholarship at Auburn University and will transfer, the athletics department announced in an official release on Thursday.
Williams averaged 0.9 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.2 assists in 6.4 minutes in 21 games last season. Williams scored a career-high four points and had two rebounds in a career-high 16 minutes at Vanderbilt. He has not seen action this season.
“We wish New the best,” said Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl. “He has a terrific future. Last year was difficult because of all those injuries, and this year and the future, it just looks like a numbers game that presents less opportunity. New has grown on and off the court and genuinely respects and cares about Auburn.”
