Alabama Basketball Expected to Land Boise State Transfer Drew Fielder

Alabama men’s basketball is expected to secure its fourth commitment from the 2026 transfer portal with the impending arrival of Boise State forward Drew Fielder, according to multiple reports confirming the move.

Fielder, a 6-foot-9 forward who played two seasons at Boise State, is slated to join the Crimson Tide roster for the 2026-27 season. His decision to transfer comes after averaging 8.4 points and 4.9 rebounds per game during the 2024-25 campaign with the Broncos, where he started 28 of 31 games.

The addition of Fielder would address a key need for Alabama in the frontcourt, providing depth and versatility alongside returning players and other incoming transfers. His experience in the Mountain West Conference, known for its physical style of play, is seen as a asset for a Crimson Tide team competing in the Southeastern Conference.

Fielder’s potential commitment marks the fourth known transfer portal addition for Alabama in the 2026 cycle, following earlier commitments from guards and wings. Head coach Nate Oats has emphasized the importance of portal acquisitions in rebuilding and reloading the roster annually, particularly after NCAA rule changes granted immediate eligibility to transfers who meet academic requirements.
