One of the nation’s top prospects has narrowed his list.

With the list having been announced this past Friday afternoon, the Alabama Crimson Tide have officially made the Top 12 for one of the nation’s premier basketball prospects in the 2025 class, Chris Cenac.

In addition to Alabama, the remaining programs included in the Top 12 were as follows: Arkansas Razorbacks, Auburn Tigers, Baylor Bears, Houston Cougars, Kentucky Wildcats, Louisville Cardinals, LSU Tigers, Michigan State Spartans, Tennessee Volunteers, Texas Longhorns, and UConn Huskies.

Cenac is currently considered as the nation’s No. 16 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, as well as the top center in the class.
