Auburn men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl added new forward, Tyler Harris, to the 2016 roster, according to a report by the Montgomery Advertiser.
Harris, a top five transfer from Providence, chose Auburn over top basketball programs such as UCONN, Oklahoma State and Georgia Tech.
Harris averaged 9.9 points and 4.4 rebounds off 12 starts on 34 games last season.
Harris said Pearl has planned to put him in a power forward position for this upcoming season.
"I knew that Bruce Pearl would be able to put me in a position like my brother was able to play in," Harris said. "I feel like Auburn was the best school for me to be at. I feel like I can help the team a lot to reach the ultimate goal: winning games, get into the (NCAA) Tournament and winning championships."
Harris will start summer school this May mini-mester.
