Alabama's Justin Lebron Named Among 67 Dick Howser Trophy Semifinalists

Sophomore Alabama baseball shortstop Justin Lebron was named a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy, with the full group of players being announced by the Dick Howser Trophy Committee and National Collegiate Baseball Writers' Association on Thursday.

The Crimson Tide program has never had a player win the Howser. Lebron, whose 17 home runs and 65 RBIs this season represent team highs, can be the first Alabama player to take home one of the college game's most prestigious awards.

The Dick Howser Trophy is bestowed annually upon the top player in college baseball. The award is named in honor of former Florida State shortstop and All-American Dick Howser, who passed away in 1987. Current Florida State shortstop Alex Lodise is one of the 2025 semifinalists.

Alabama had two semifinalists last season, third baseman Gage Miller and center fielder TJ McCants. This season's full list of semifinalists, comprising 67 players in all, is below. Finalists will be announced on June 7. The winner will be revealed on the morning of June 13.
