He appeared in 29 games for the Crimson Tide last season with 16 starts. The 6-foot-6, 218-pound forward averaged 6.5 points and 3.4 rebounds over 15.5 minutes per game and shot 51.4% from the floor and 22.0% from beyond the arc.
Gary dealt with an injury-plagued career throughout his three years in Tuscaloosa. A preseason ACL injury forced him to sit out the entire 2019-2020 season, and he also battled a shoulder injury in 2021 and 2022. Against LSU in 2022, Gary suffered a facial fracture that caused him to miss a few game and play the rest of the regular season with a specially fitted mask.
During Alabama's SEC title run in 2021, Gary was a big contributing factor off the bench in the postseason including eight points in the SEC Tournament championship game against LSU and season high minutes against Maryland in the NCAA Tournament Round of 32.
He was one of five scholarship players from the Crimson Tide to enter the transfer portal following the conclusion of the 2021-22 season with the loss to Notre Dame in the NCAA Tournament. James Rojas recently announced that he would be transferring to Wichita State. Jusuan Holt, Alex Tchikou and Keon Ambrose-Hylton have not yet publicly announced their next landing spots.
