He was originally recruited to play in the Ivy League and M.I.T. Then Bruce Pearl came calling. Anfernee McLemore came out of south Georgia. Among the first teams he contemplated playing in high school was chess.
Anfernee was part of two of the best teams in Auburn history, an SEC Championship in 2018, then an SEC Tournament Championship and a trip to the school's first Final Four in 2019. He also suffered a potentially career threatening injury and came back to play for the Tigers.
He is now a family man, living and working in Birmingham. Anfernee McLemore is featured in this Talking Tigers Podcast, presented by Wickles Pickles.
