Alabama Lands Boise State Transfer Drew Fielder for Frontcourt Reinforcement

The 6-foot-11 sharpshooting big fits Nate Oats’ size-and-spacing rebuild during the NCAA’s shortened transfer window.

Overview

  • Drew Fielder committed to Alabama on Monday, giving the Tide a 6-foot-11, 225-pound stretch big with one season of eligibility.
  • At Boise State last season, he averaged 14.7 points and 5.7 rebounds and shot 40.9% from three while starting 30 of 32 games.
  • Fielder earned Second Team All–Mountain West honors and led the league in field-goal percentage at 54.7%.
  • He becomes the third frontcourt transfer this offseason, joining Kentucky’s Brandon Garrison and Mississippi State’s Jamarion Davis-Fleming, with NC State wing Cole Cloer also onboard.
  • The portal window closes Tuesday, and players only need to enter the database by the deadline to transfer later, so Alabama could still add backcourt help.
