Former Alabama star back in transfer portal

Nick Pringle has gone portaling again.

The ex-Alabama forward told On3 sports Monday that he will enter the transfer portal and also test the NBA Draft.

Pringle spent two seasons with Alabama before transferring to South Carolina this past season. Pringle, a South Carolina native, averaged 24.5 minutes with the Gamecocks, tallying 9.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.5 steals per game, all career highs.

The prior two seasons with Alabama, Pringle was a key part of the team that went to the Final Four in 2024. He also played on the team that earned the first No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament in program history in 2023.

Pringle shined most in the Clemson game in the Elite Eight in 2024, scoring 16 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. That game punched Alabama’s ticket to college basketball’s biggest stage.

South Carolina finished last in the SEC this season with a 12-20 overall record and a 2-16 SEC record.
