Report: Aden Holloway's Ban from Alabama Campus Lifted

Aden Holloway's ban from the University of Alabama's campus has been reversed, per ESPN's Myron Medcalf.

"Holloway is planning to enroll in fall classes and hoping to rejoin the team next season pending the outcome of his legal case," Medcalf wrote following a conversation with Jason Neff, Holloway's attorney.

Medcalf said that the Crimson Tide guard can now attend classes and enroll in other courses. UA's spring semester ends on April 24, as finals will run from April 27 to May 1. That said, he's still suspended from the basketball team.

Neff told ESPN that Holloway intends to play basketball next season, but of course, that's not a guarantee given the ongoing investigation. Holloway was indicted by a grand jury on a Class C felony drug possession charge on Thursday.

"This was bound to happen no matter what because it's a felony," Neff told Medcalf regarding the indictment. "This is the normal process or procedure for any felony charge."

Holloway was suspended by head coach Nate Oats on March 16, as the guard was arrested that morning and removed from campus after being charged with first-degree possession of marijuana (more than two pounds) and failure to affix a tax stamp.

Holloway, Alabama's second-leading scorer, didn’t travel with the Crimson Tide to Tampa for the Round of 64 victory over 13-seed Hofstra nor the Round of 32 win over 5-seed Texas. He wasn't at the practice viewing in Chicago either, and Oats didn't comment on his guard during the press conference that followed the practice.

Neff filed a request for Holloway to be allowed to travel out of state beginning the day before the Sweet 16 in Chicago, and judge Joanne Jannik approved it on the morning of game day. However, Holloway was not in the Windy City during the Crimson Tide's season-ending loss to Michigan.

The Crimson Tide met its expectations. It started the season ranked No. 15 in the AP Top 25 and entered March Madness at the same spot. But so much happened along the way.

Holloway was named to the All-SEC Third Team on March 9. He earned a starting role after being the Crimson Tide's sixth-man in 2024-25, and he's certainly made the most of it. The junior finished the regular season 14th in the conference in points per game (16.8 on 48.0 percent from the field) and eighth in assists per game (3.9).
