Alabama basketball 2025-26 roster tracker

Alabama basketball had a strong 2024-25 campaign, finishing with the second-most wins in school history (28) and making a second straight trip to the Elite Eight.

With the Crimson Tide’s loss to Duke, attention now turns to the 2025-26 roster, which Nate Oats and his staff will be putting together in the coming months. This tracker will help you keep up with who’s leaving who’s staying, and everything in between.

This story will be continually updated throughout the offseason to reflect where Alabama’s roster and coaching staff currently stand. A full roster list is at the bottom of the page.

Pending NBA Draft Decision

– Philon hasn’t officially declared for the NBA Draft yet, but Alabama’s star freshman guard displayed more than enough throughout the season to warrant a look from the pros. He was one of the biggest surprises of the season, averaging 10.6 points and 3.8 assists while showcasing impressive defensive instincts. It’s not a foregone conclusion that he’ll leave for the draft, but he’s consistently appeared on enough draft boards to have a decision to make.

Returning

– Holloway transferred in from Auburn after a difficult freshman season, and saw all of his production take a major jump as a sophomore. He averaged 11.4 points as Alabama’s sixth man off the bench and was the team’s best 3-point shooter at 41%. Entering his junior year, he has the chance to compete for an even larger role, including a run at a starting spot. He made public comments following Alabama’s loss to Duke declaring his intentions to return.

Mo Dioubate

– Dioubate stepped into a much larger role in his second year in Tuscaloosa, doubling his minutes per game from 7.7 to 16.0. He proved to be one of the most impactful players on the team with his blue-collar playstyle, being one of the team’s best defenders and rebounders. He showed significant improvement on the offensive end, and made 46% of his threes on very low volume. He’s another player with a chance to be one of the staples on next season’s team.

Jarin Stevenson

– Stevenson had an up-and-down sophomore season, struggling with inconsistencies but still showing flashes of potential that make him such an intriguing long-term player. He ended the year averaging 5.4 points and 3.4 rebounds. He shot 30.7% from three, but shot 36% after an 0-for-18 start. He’s still incredibly young, not turning 20 years old until just before the start of next season, further emphasizing his room for growth.

Aiden Sherrell

– Sherrell served as Omoruyi’s backup during his freshman season, and showed notable flashes of potential constantly. He posted very solid offensive (13.2%) and defensive (19.3%) rebounding rates in his limited minutes and showcased his ability to be utilized as a stretch-5, shooting 33% from deep. With Omoruyi now graduated, Sherrell will be able to fully step in as the team’s center of the future, and he’s already stated his intentions to return.

Derrion Reid

– It was a frustrating season for Reid, who came in as a McDonald’s All-American and had a strong start to the year before it was derailed by injuries. He was forced to miss 12 games over a 15-game stretch throughout the middle of conference play, which caused him to lose his regular spot in the rotation. He’s still got very high potential, with excellent defensive instincts and incredible athleticism. The next step in his development will be his outside shot.

Latrell Wrightsell Jr.

– Wrightsell was slated to be one of the biggest pieces on this team as a returning 5th-year senior, before an Achilles tear 10 games into the year cut his season short. Before his injury, he was looking like one of the best shooters in the country at 42% on 4.5 attempts per game. Oats has been adamant that Wrightsell should have no issue getting a medical redshirt to return next season, and he’ll be an incredibly impactful addition with his shooting ability.

Houston Mallette

– Perhaps no one on the roster had a more roller coaster year than Mallette. After transferring in from Pepperdine, it was originally announced that he’d redshirt the entire season. He briefly came off the redshirt to play in six games late in non-conference play, making 50% of his threes in that span, but had complications with a prior knee injury that shut him down for the year. Oats has also been adamant that he should be able to get a medical redshirt as well, bringing back another big-time shooter for the 2025 roster.

Incoming Transfers

Noah Williamson

– Bucknell transfer Noah Williamson provides the Crimson Tide with some excellent size (7-feet, 250 pounds) in the frontcourt. He was the Patriot League player of the year this past season averaging 17.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game while shooting over 53 percent from the field. His 3-point percentage is intriguing at 31.8 percent, far from elite but still respectable for his position. He will spend his final year of eligibility in Tuscaloosa.

Departing Transfers

Naas Cunningham

– Cunningham was the lowest-rated member of Alabama’s last recruiting class and redshirted this past season to add more weight. He’s an intriguing prospect with good positional size at 6-foot-7 and impressive shotmaking ability, but weighing 175 pounds made him not quite ready to play in the SEC. He entered the transfer portal on March 31, and will have all four years of eligibility at his next stop.

Incoming High School Recruits

London Jemison

Top-40 power forward London Jemison with Alabama’s Nate Oats and Preston Murphy on his official visit.

– Jemison was the highest-ranked of Alabama’s three high school signees, coming in at No. 36 overall. He’s got good size at 6-foot-9, 200 pounds, and has valuable versatility with his athleticism. He’s become a very strong shooter over his senior season of high school, which is why he’s been one of the biggest risers in the class. Depending on how Alabama’s frontcourt shakes out, he could have a chance to earn some minutes as a freshman.

Davion Hannah

– Hannah is a bigger guard at 6-foot-4, ranking as the No. 43 overall player in the 2025 class. He’s a very talented scorer at multiple levels, possessing nice athleticism and burst to finish at the rim and a pretty good shooting touch. Alabama typically has a loaded backcourt, so it’s difficult to project what kind of role he could play in year one.

Amari Allen

Alabama basketball commit Amari Allen with Nate Oats on his official visit.

– Allen has been on a tear throughout his senior year, averaging over 34 points per game and being named the Gatorade Player of the Year in the state of Wisconsin. His scoring ability from all levels is notable, but similar to Cunningham, he may need to put on more weight to be competitive at the high-major level. The 6-foot-7, 180-pound wing was rated as the No. 72 overall prospect in his class.

Exhausted Eligibility

– Sears’ historic Alabama career comes to a close after spending three years in Tuscaloosa. The Muscle Shoals, Ala. native transferred in from Ohio after his sophomore year and became one of the most decorated players in program history. He earned All-SEC honors three times, All-American honors twice, became the school’s first-ever unanimous first team All-American, and led the program to its first-ever Final Four in 2024. He leaves as one of Alabama basketball’s all-time greats.

Grant Nelson

– Nelson spent two years with the Crimson Tide after spending the first three years of his career at North Dakota State. He was a staple in the lineup for two deep March runs, including the 2024 Final Four and the 2025 Elite Eight, and created a multitude of highlight-worthy moments that Alabama fans will remember for a long time.

Cliff Omoruyi

– Omoruyi came to Alabama as a grad transfer after spending four years at Rutgers prior to his arrival. He served as the Crimson Tide’s starting center all season, averaging 7.9 points and 6.5 rebounds on the year. He came alive late in the season and in the NCAA Tournament, becoming a monster lob threat and finding his role in the offense at the perfect time to aid the Tide in a deep March run.

Chris Youngblood

– The last of Alabama’s seniors, Youngblood came in as a grad transfer after spending the first three years of his career at Kennesaw State and the fourth at South Florida. He missed the first month-and-a-half of the year with an ankle injury he suffered in the preseason, but made his recovery and proved to be an incredibly effective player. He found his way into Alabama’s starting lineup by midseason, and averaged 10.3 points while shooting 39% from beyond the arc in his final year.

Outgoing Coaches

Ryan Pannone

– Pannone agreed to become the head coach at Arkansas State, replacing another former Alabama assistant after Bryan Hodgson took the USF job. Including Pannone, Nate Oats now has five former assistants that are active D-1 head coaches.
