Alabama Crimson Tide starting forward Aiden Sherell is entering the transfer portal, according to On3's Hayes Fawcett.
Sherell had a promising sophomore season for the Crimson Tide, averaging 11.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game. He started all 34 games that he played in, shooting 53.9% from the floor, 33.8% from the 3-point line, and 71.3% from the free-throw line.

He recorded three double-doubles for Alabama, including a 15-point, 15-rebound performance against Hofstra in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. He scored 20 or more points four times, including a career-high 26 points against Arkansas. He led Alabama in blocks and rebounds this season.
It was a massive step from his freshman campaign, when the Detroit, Michigan native averaged 3.4 points and 2.8 rebounds in 36 games. He will have two seasons of eligibility at his next stop.
He was a major win for Nate Oaks on the recruiting trail when he signed with Alabama as a five-star prospect in the 2024 recruiting class. Sherrell was ranked as the No. 23 overall player and No. five in the 247Sports composite. He was also a McDonald's All-American.
Sherell is the second Alabama player to announce that he will be transferring when the portal opens on Tuesday, joining forward Taylor Bol Bowen, who also revealed his plans on Monday.
