Alabama guard, former top-50 prospect, to enter transfer portal, per report

The Alabama basketball team sustained another transfer portal loss Saturday, as guard Davion Hannah plans to depart the Crimson Tide.
On3 reported that Hannah’s agency Seros Partners confirmed the 6-foot-6 freshman and former top 50 recruit is seeking a new program after appearing in 10 games – all before the calendar turned over – and delivering 3.3 points and 1.9 rebounds per outing in 2025-26. He averaged 12.7 minutes per game played and shot 46.2 percent from the field.
Hannah last played for Alabama on Dec. 17 before coach Nate Oats said a reported medical condition would sideline him for the rest of the season. Oats also confirmed that the Milwaukee product would seek a medical redshirt, which would maintain Hannah’s four full years of remaining eligibility.
A 4-star prospect coming out of Branson (Mo.) Link Academy, Hannah was the No. 46 overall player in the 247 Sports Composite rankings. Oats praised Hannah’s defensive ability in the offseason, saying he would be a valuable contributor early as a result.
“I think Davion Hannah is maybe as good a perimeter defender as this program has seen since maybe Herb Jones,” Oats said. “He’s elite. He moves. He’s 6-foot-6, athletic, tough, can guard one through four.”
Hannah is the fourth Alabama player to hit the portal this cycle, joining forwards Taylor Bol Bowen and Aiden Sherrell along with guard Jalil Bethea.
