Alabama Basketball Adds Second SEC Forward In Transfer Portal

In this story:
Alabama basketball added its second post player of the transfer portal cycle as sophomore forward Jamarion Davis-Fleming is transferring to Tuscaloosa, according to On3 Sports. Davis-Fleming spent his freshman season at Mississippi State, averaging 3.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks in 32 games.
Davis-Fleming was a 4-star recruit and the No. 1 player in the state of Mississippi in the Class of 2025. Standing at 6-foot-10, 240 pounds, he'll be a quality addition to Alabama's front court. He scored four points and hauled in 13 rebounds in 42 combined minutes of action in both Mississippi State losses to Alabama this season. His older brother, Javian Davis, played at Alabama from 2018-20.
The rising sophomore had three double-digit scoring games, but all three performances came against a Power 4 opponent. He had two blocks in 10 of his 18 SEC games, showing good instincts on the defensive end and had six contests with eight or more rebounds.
The Crimson Tide added Brandon Garrison from Kentucky earlier in the week, making Davis-Fleming the second transfer portal addition for the upcoming season. Alabama still has forwards Collins Onyejiaka and Keitenn Bristow on the roster, with the transfer portal closing on April 21, leaving athletes just six more days to enter if they intend to play at a new school next season. The quartet makes up all of Alabama's bigs for 2026-27, and the roster currently has three more available scholarships
