Auburn point guard Zep Jasper currently plans to use his additional year of eligibility granted during the COVID-19 pandemic to play with the Tigers, according to CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein. The formerly unranked recruit from the 2016 recruiting class started all 32 of his games at Auburn last season.

Zep Jasper, a 6-foot-1 guard from the state of Georgia, transferred to play for Bruce Pearl at Auburn after three seasons at College of Charleston. While there, he made the 2020-21 All-CAA team and All-Defensive team before becoming a coveted prospect.

In 2021-22, Jasper averaged 5.1 points and 2.1 assists while shooting 36.6 percent from the 3-point line. Despite a career-low 23 minutes per game, he made a major impact on both ends of the floor and helped lead Auburn to a regular season SEC title.
