Of that group, Holloway is one of the more notable, as the guard averaged 11.4 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game on 41.2% shooting from three-point range, posting career-high’s nearly across the board compared to his freshman season at Auburn. Wrightsell is also a significant return, as the veteran guard appeared in eight games for Alabama prior to suffering a season-ending injury, averaging 11.5 points per game on 42.2% shooting from three.
As for the others, Sherrell is likely to play an increased role next season after averaging 3.4 points and 2.8 rebounds per game on 51.1% shooting from the field, while Mallette is another veteran who missed a majority of the season as the result of an injury. The guard appeared in six games, averaging 3.2 points and 2.2 rebounds per game on 50% (5-of-10) shooting from three.
The group of Holloway, Wrightsell, Sherrell, and Mallette are the first Alabama players to publicly announce a return to Tuscaloosa for the 2025-26 season.
