Multiple news sources confirmed Wednesday that Indiana University has secured a commitment from Aiden Sherrell, a former Alabama center who entered the NCAA transfer portal.
The big man is heading to Bloomington following a productive season with Alabama where he posted 11.1 points per game, pulled down 6.2 rebounds, and recorded 2.2 blocks across 34 contests, starting every game for the Crimson Tide.
Standing 6-foot-10 and weighing 255 pounds, Sherrell demonstrated strong shooting efficiency last season, connecting on 53.9% of his field goal attempts and 33.8% from beyond the arc. His defensive presence was notable as well, recording eight rejections in two separate games during the season.
Earlier Wednesday, Sherrell announced his departure from Alabama through a social media post.
“I want to sincerely thank the University of Alabama, coach (Nate) Oats, and the entire coaching staff and support team for believing in me and giving me the chance to be a part of such a special program,” Sherrell wrote on Instagram. “The experience, knowledge, and relationships I’ve built during my time in Tuscaloosa are something I will always carry with me.
“To my teammates, thank you for pushing me every day and making this journey unforgettable. The brotherhood we created goes far beyond basketball, and I’m grateful for every moment we’ve shared.”
