Alabama outfielder Bryce Fowler reportedly makes decision on 2026 college baseball season
With the 2025 college baseball season officially a wrap, Alabama Crimson Tide outfielder Bryce Fowler has reportedly made a decision about his plans for 2026. The redshirt junior and Alabama's everyday right fielder posted a highlight reel from this past spring to his official Instagram account late Monday. The video included a clip of Fowler saying: "I'm back, baby." The Tuscaloosa News' Emilee Smarr, citing a UA athletics representative, reported Tuesday that Alabama anticipates Fowler to return to the Crimson Tide for 2026. Those plans could change, the representative told The Tuscaloosa News, if Fowler is picked "higher than he'd expect" in next month's MLB Draft. The draft is July 13-14 during All-Star week in Atlanta. Fowler transferred to Alabama from Pearl River Community College (Poplarville, Miss.) in June 2024. He batted .260 in Alabama's 58 games in 2025, hitting six home runs and nine doubles to go with a .377 on-base percentage and .377 slugging percentage. A native of Madison, Miss., Fowler hit safely in his first 11 games for the Crimson Tide and collected a season-high six RBIs in their 15-1 win over Alabama State in seven innings on Feb. 19. In that game, he hit a grand slam, singled and walked. One of Fowler's biggest hits was a two-run home run that came in Alabama's 9-3 victory over No. 5 Georgia as part of a doubleheader sweep on April 11 at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. Fowler went 3-for-7 in the doubleheader with two runs scored. The Crimson Tide finished 41-18 overall this past season, winning 40 games in a regular season for the first time since 2002 and going a perfect 13-0 in midweek play. Alabama was a No. 2 seed at the Hattiesburg Regional of the NCAA Tournament, where they fell to Miami and host Southern Miss on back-to-back days. Alabama was unranked in the final USA TODAY Sports baseball coaches poll on Monday after climbing to No. 8 at one point in the regular season.

Cooper Flagg Sends Strong Message After Arriving in New York for 2025 NBA Draft
Cooper Flagg Sends Strong Message After Arriving in New York for 2025 NBA Draft originally appeared on Athlon Sports. While the focus remains on the NBA Finals—which will officially conclude Sunday night when the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder face off in Game 7—attention is already beginning to shift toward the 2025 NBA draft, scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday. Advertisement The first round will take place on Wednesday, with the second round unfolding the following day. The biggest name in this year's draft remains Duke Blue Devils superstar Cooper Flagg, who is widely expected to go No. 1 overall to the Dallas Mavericks. On Saturday, Flagg arrived in Brooklyn, New York ahead of the big night. With several pre-draft festivities on the schedule, he sent a strong and heartfelt message, sharing that many people from his home state of Maine will be making the trip to the Barclays Center to support him. 'I'm excited—should be a fun week, filled with a bunch of events," Flagg said. "I feel blessed to be here. It means a lot. A bunch of my family and friends are making the trip up from Maine to celebrate. Hopefully I'll hear my name called. It's just a really cool and special experience.' Flagg capped off a private meeting and workout with the Mavericks earlier this week, and all signs continue to point toward him being the first player to hear his name called on Wednesday night. Several of his Duke teammates—including Kon Knueppel and Khaman Maluach—are also expected to be selected shortly after.
