The Alabama's women's basketball team has bolstered its roster for the 2024-25 season with the addition of Christabel Ezumah, as announced by head coach Kristy Curry on Monday.

The 6-foot-2 forward, who hails from Sugar Hill, Georgia, transfers to the Crimson Tide after an impressive four-year stint at Campbell University. During her final season at Campbell, Ezumah was a dominant force on the court. She started all 31 games of the 2023-24 season, leading her team in scoring, rebounding, and blocks. She averaged 12.4 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, along with 1.8 blocks. Her defensive prowess earned her a spot on the All-Coastal Athletic Association Defensive Team and she was also named to the third team for her overall performance.

Additionally, Ezumah ranks second in Campbell’s all-time blocks with 134 and 15th in rebounds with 619. Her career-high 28 points came against league leaders Stony Brook last season. During her junior year, she was the only player to start in all games, leading her team in total scoring (329), rebounding (284), and blocks (60), and received All-Big South First Team honors.
