Alabama to Host 5-Star Guard Ikenna Alozie for Fall Visit

The announcement of Alozie's official visit comes less than a month after he named Alabama in his top-eight schools, a list which also included Kentucky, Houston, Kansas, Gonzaga, Louisville, Arizona and Washington.

He is ranked as the No. 5 combo guard in the nation and the No. 2 player out of Arizona, per 247Sports' composite ranking. Alozie is currently suiting up for the Utah Prospects of the Nike EYBL and through three games so far of the annual Peach Jam tournament, he has averaged 11.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists.

The talented guard, while a bit undersized, is explosive at the rim and is extremely athletic. He is able to get up and down the court with excellent speed and is a sneaky defender with quick hands.

As of now, Alabama does not hold any commitments in next year's class, but has locked in several visits with talented prospects. Though Oats and the staff were unable to land a 5-Star commit in the 2025 class, the early stages of 2026 look promising for the Tide.
