Alabama Crimson Tide

Former Alabama and current Kennesaw State men's basketball guard Davin Cosby Jr. was involved in a serious car accident on July 13 that required two emergency surgeries. But on Wednesday, he returned to the Owls for the first time.

He was initially stabilized and discharged in a wheelchair, but he was walking and in high spirits during his return to campus. Cosby's teammates and coaches greeted him back and he got to break down the huddle at the end of the Owls' practice.

Cosby transferred to Kennesaw State this offseason after spending last year at Wake Forest. The Owls are led by head coach and former Crimson Tide assistant Antoine Pettway. Alabama is scheduled to face the Pettway and the Owls with Cosby's support on Dec. 21 in Huntsville, Alabama.

The guard only played eight minutes per game with the Crimson Tide in 2023-24 and averaged 3.6 points. In his sophomore year with Wake Forest, he increased his scoring numbers to 5.6, however, his minutes were doubled in 17 games (nine starts).

Alabama head coach Nate Oats released a statement on X (formerly known as Twitter) in July following Cosby's accident.

"Please help Davin & his family in any way you can! Davin was one of the best young men I have ever been around and was one of the best teammates, bringing a smile to everyone’s face! Our Alabama Family will help out in any way!"

It's safe to say that Oats will look forward to reuniting with Cosby in December.
