2026 four-star guard Colben Landrew names Auburn in top ten
2026 four-star player Colden Landrew names Auburn in top ten and will visit Iron Bowl weekend.
Bruce Pearl and the Auburn Tigers received positive news on the recruiting front earlier this week. 2026 four-star shooting guard Colben Landrew announced Auburn as one of his top ten schools per Joe Tipton of Rivals. Landrew announced in late June that he would officially the Tigers at a future date. That day has been confirmed for Nov. 29. That is the day Auburn will host Alabama in the Iron Bowl.
Landrew is originally from Alabaster, Alabama where he attended Thompson High School. He is now at Wheeler High School in Marietta, Georgia. He is not just one of the top players in Georgia, but also one of the best in the nation. In their latest rankings, Rivals has Landrew as a top 20 player at No. 16. He is slightly above two other Auburn targets Tay Kenney (No. 21) and Chris Washington (No. 25).
Landrew is rated as the No. 2 player in Georgia and the No. 9 shooting guard by Rivals. 247Sports has him listed as small forward and Rivals as a shooting guard, but he has the skillset to play either position. Landrew has solid ball handling abilities and can make tough shots from different spots on the floor. He has three-point range, but Landrew can also get to the paint using ball screens. He isn't shy about going after a rebound after a missed shot either.
The shooting ability will be a skill that should translate quickly to the SEC. Landrew can knock down shots under pressure as well. Auburn is one of six visits he has scheduled. He will also visit Louisville (Aug. 28), Mississippi State (Sept. 19), Georgia (Sept. 26), Texas A&M (Oct. 4), and Alabama (Oct. 18). Landrew recently visited Purdue on June 24. The other schools in his top ten are Ole Miss, Texas, and UConn.
