Auburn
Scout Report
When Auburn locked up the top shooter in Alabama for 2026, they weren't just getting a scorer — they were securing the second half of what could be the program's most dangerous backcourt duo in years.
Background
Gossett developed his game in Huntsville, where he's built a reputation as one of the state's premier scoring guards. The Auburn commitment keeps him close to home while joining forces with Simon Walker, the 2025 shooting guard already headed to the Plains. That partnership has been brewing through their high school careers and AAU circuits.
Playing Style
This kid can flat-out score the basketball. Gossett has that natural feel for putting points on the board that separates good players from special ones. He's comfortable creating his own shot and has the range to stretch defenses, though he'll need to continue developing his playmaking ability to maximize his ceiling at the next level. The scoring instincts are already there — now it's about adding the nuances that turn scorers into complete point guards.
Recruitment
Alabama offered early, recognizing the in-state talent, but Auburn won this recruitment battle for their 2026 class. The Tigers are betting big on Gossett's scoring punch complementing their system. With his commitment already locked in, he can focus purely on development over the next two seasons.
