Alabama has made a major splash in the transfer portal with the commitment of Bucknell big man Noah Williamson, the Patriot League Player of the Year. The 7-foot, 250-pound center is entering his fourth year of college basketball and is expected to make a significant impact on the court for the Crimson Tide.
Williamson has had a successful college career, moving from a bench player in his freshman year to a starting role in the past two seasons. During the 2024-25 season, he averaged 17.4 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, showcasing his scoring ability both inside and outside the paint. Williamson’s versatility is evident in his willingness to shoot the three-pointer, making 28-of-88 attempts last season, including a standout performance with 6 threes against Colgate.
The big man had drawn interest from other top programs such as Miami, Kansas, Louisville, and Kentucky before ultimately choosing Alabama. His decision to commit to the Crimson Tide is a significant boost for head coach Nate Oats, who is looking to build a strong roster for the upcoming season.
With Williamson’s arrival, Alabama gains a talented and experienced player who will add depth to the team and contribute on both ends of the floor. His addition to the roster is a promising sign for the Crimson Tide as they look to compete in the challenging landscape of college basketball.
