Overview
- Zion Green, who committed on Saturday, Oct. 31, 2026, picked Alabama over Kansas, Oklahoma and Ole Miss and is the second reported addition to the Crimson Tide's 2027 class.
- Rivals lists Green around No. 20 nationally for the 2027 class and rates him as a four-star small forward with the length and upside that moved him into top recruit conversations.
- Green is a 6-foot-9, 190-pound wing from Compass Prep (AZ) originally from Philadelphia who took an official visit to Alabama on Sept. 25 and said the program stayed with him through the process.
- On the Puma Pro16 summer circuit with As Promised, Green averaged about 13.7 points and 9.0 rebounds while shooting strongly from the floor and behind the arc, though scouts note bouts of inconsistency.
- His commitment gives coach Nate Oats a long, perimeter-oriented forward to pair with guard Chase Lumpkin and could push Alabama's recruiting class toward more wing-driven lineups next season.
