Alabama basketball walk-on forward transfers to mid-major program
The forward was a walk-on for the Crimson Tide during the 2025-26 season, appearing in 10 games for Alabama basketball.
Alabama transfer forward Jacob Martin has officially signed with Southern Illinois-Edwardsville (SIUE), the program recently announced . Martin will join the Cougars with three years of eligibility remaining. The forward struggled to see consistent playing time at Alabama this past season as a walk-on, but Martin will now potentially have an increased role during his time at SIUE.
The big man saw action in 10 games for the Crimson Tide this past season, scoring three points with a trio of blocks. Martin also averaged only 1. 3 minutes per game.
At 6-foot-10, 250 pounds, Martin is one of many former Crimson Tide players to land with a new program in recent weeks, as Alabama continues to reload following a plethora of roster changes this offseason.
