Drew Fielder played high school basketball at SoCal Academy (CA), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 112 overall player and No. 20 power forward in the 2023 recruiting cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings.

Alabama finished the 2025-26 season with a 25-10 overall record and a 13-5 mark in conference play. The Crimson Tide advanced to the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA Tournament, but ultimately suffered a season-ending loss to Michigan. After the game, Alabama head coach Nate Oats reflected on his team’s season.

“It’s disappointing to lose, but the most disappointing thing about tonight is I don’t get to coach these guys anymore,” Oats said. “… The adversity that they faced and the response to adversity and how they’ve handled things, I’m going to be using these guys as examples of how to do things the right way for a long time in my coaching career.”

The NCAA Transfer Portal officially opened on April 7 and closes on April 21. The new 15-day window was enacted following a recommendation by the men’s basketball oversight committee. Athletes don’t have to commit to a new school by the April 21 deadline.
