Aaliyah Nye then went 13th to the Las Vegas Aces and Zaay Green 32nd to the Washington Mystics. With the three picks, we’ve now had five players drafted since 2021.

SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll

Congratulations to our 69 student-athletes named to the Southeastern Conference Winter Academic Honor Roll. The SEC Honor Roll recognizes student-athletes who have achieved a 3.0 grade point average or higher and must at least be in their second year of academic standing. Combined with our fall honorees, we now have 207 honor roll recipients thus far for the 2024-25 academic year.

Bama Blitz

We want to take a moment to thank the 306 donors who contributed a total of $72,764 to the Crimson Tide Scholarship Fund during the eighth-annual Bama Blitz on April 15-17. The generosity of these donors exceeded our goal of fully funding an annual athletics scholarship for the two-day online giving event. I’d also like to thank Rochelle & Michael Koslin and Stephanie & Chad Wheeler whose generous challenge and matching gifts were instrumental in our success. If you missed the opportunity to give during Bama Blitz and would like to support student-athlete scholarships, you can do so at crimsontidefoundation.org/ctsf.

University Spotlight

Next weekend, over 6,600 degrees will be awarded during UA’s Spring commencement ceremonies. Congratulations to all of those earning diplomas and becoming Alabama graduates.
