Alabama Crimson Tide News

Amari Allen - Scores 19 in exhibition Allen led the Crimson Tide with 19 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT) to go with six rebounds and five assists in the exhibition win over Ole Miss on Thursday.

Impact Allen looks primed for an excellent sophomore season after flirting with the NBA. He will command more of the offense while Aden Holloway (suspension) is out and should kick the 2026-27 season off in high style. The 6-6 sophomore from Green Bay is a triple-double threat.

Collins Onyejiaka - Medically cleared to play Onyejiaka is medically cleared to play for Alabama, Emilee Smarr of The Tuscaloosa News reports.

Impact Onyejiaka was sidelined for the entire 2025-26 season due to a heart issue, but has now been cleared to return to action. He did not play in the team's most recent exhibition game, but that's because head coach Nate Oats sees more suitable matchups for him in the near future.

Keitenn Bristow - Finally healthy Bristow (ankle) logged eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block in Thursday's exhibition game against Furman.

Impact After a near-nine-month absence, Bristow is healthy going into Alabama's 2026-27 season. For last year's Crimson Tide, he averaged 3.6 points and 4.0 rebounds across 10 games. At minimum, Bristow will look to maintain a regular position in Alabama's rotation.

Impact Holloway won't be available for the Crimson Tide's three exhibition games against Furman, Ole Miss and Auburn, and he'll miss the first two games that actually count with the regular-season opener against Sam Houston followed by game two against Arkansas State.

Aden Holloway - Previous charges dismissed Holloway (suspension) had his possession of marijuana charges dismissed earlier in September, Nick Kelly of AL.com reports.

Impact By getting his marijuana charges dismissed, as confirmed by Alabama's court system, he has completed a second-chance program that was mandated for his clearance. Now, he has to receive it from Alabama, and perhaps there will be an indication of what the Crimson Tide have decided to do going into their preseason schedule. Assuming that Holloway is healthy, he has sufficient time to get game-ready before Alabama's regular season begins in November.
