Oregon transfer Kel’el Ware ie expected to visit Alabama on Saturday, according to On3’s Joe Tipton. On3’s transfer portal rankings have Ware ranked as the No. 7 overall player.
Ware was a five-star prospect out of North Little Rock High School in North Little Rock, Arkansas. He was also a McDonald’s All-America.
In one season at Oregon, Ware averaged 6.6 points per game and 4.1 rebounds per game. He also shot 45.7% from the field. The best game of his freshman campaign came against the 2023 National Champions, the UConn Huskies. He scored 18 points and grabbed nine rebounds.
His ability to defend and create mismatches on both ends of the floor could present challenges for opponents. With Alabama losing forward Noah Clowney to the NBA Draft, Ware could come in and play a similar role. The Tide would replace one lottery pick with another potential lottery pick in Ware.
Alabama has one transfer commitment so far this offseason. Wichita State transfer Jaykwon Walton committed to Alabama just over a week ago. Ware would be a huge addition given the amount of departures that the Tide have had this offseason,
