A key member of Alabama’s 2024 recruiting class, Reid came to Tuscaloosa among the highest-rated recruits in the program’s history, ranked as the nation’s No. 10 overall player in the cycle according to the 247Sports Composite recruiting rankings. Reid, a five-star prospect, was also considered the No. 2 overall power forward in the class.
Once at Alabama, Reid made an immediate impact with the Crimson Tide this past season, starting 3-of-24 games to average 6 points and 2.8 rebounds per game on 45% shooting from the field. Reid, who also shot 26.3% from three, as well as 57.9% at the free throw line, dealt with injuries throughout the season, and missed a large portion of SEC play prior to returning in the NCAA Tournament.
