Local freshman guard bringing energy, size, and a developing offensive game to SUNO
In the 2025-26 season, Aumad Hackett is a 6'0" freshman guard for Southern-New Orleans who has shown early flashes as a low-usage, physical backcourt piece, averaging 5.0 points and 3.0 rebounds per game with a 25.0% field-goal mark in ESPN’s season stats. He’s a New Orleans native who already earned weekly conference recognition in 2025 after averaging 6.5 points and 3.5 assists per game, which suggests real growth potential as a connector and table-setter. If your team wants a young guard with local roots, toughness, and upside rather than a finished product, Hackett is the kind of developmental bet worth monitoring.
