Auburn basketball player preview series: Dylan Cardwell
Center Dylan Cardwell withdrew his name from the 2022 NBA Draft process and looks to return to Auburn for his junior season. Cardwell came off the bench in his past two seasons behind both JT Thor and Walker Kessler and averaged 3.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 2021-2022 season while also adding 1.2 blocks per game.
Cardwell is known for his energy and his enthusiasm on and off the court. He became a cult hero at Auburn well before stepping on the basketball court when he spent time on Saturdays in the fall in Jordan-Hare Stadium becoming one of the best cheerleaders for Auburn football by taking his shirt off in the student section. Cardwell looks to feed off of the jungle more and jump into an upperclassmen role for the 2022-2023 season.
