Alabama's Derrion Reid commits to transfer to Oklahoma

Derrion Reid has committed to Oklahoma from the NCAA Transfer Portal. That comes per On3’s Joe Tipton.

This comes after a visit for Reid last week to Norman. He also took one to Raleigh a day or so before with him choosing to transfer to OU over NC State. He was also, per reports, supposed to visit Ole Miss with interest from the Rebels.

Reid spent this past season as a freshman at Alabama. He’d average 6.0 points (45% FG, 26.3% 3PT) and 2.8 rebounds per game in 24 appearances, three of those being starts, for the Crimson Tide. He dealt with injury the year, though, with double-digit absences from the lineup, including just nine appearances from on after mid-January, because of a hamstring issue.

Reid, a native of Grovetown, Georgia, played his high school basketball at Prolific Prep in Napa, California after originally starting at Grovetown High School. He was the No. 16 overall recruit as a four-star in the 2024 cycle. He also rated as the No. 6 SF in the class and the No. 1 player out of the state of California. That’s according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’d then commit to ‘Bama as their top signee of four who made up the No. 3 class in the country in ’24 with only one of those recruits to now be back next year in Tuscaloosa.

Reid is now one of the top transfers in the portal this offseason. He, per the latest update to On3’s Industry Ranking of 2025’s Top Transfer Portal Players, is at No. 41 overall as the No. 7 SF. At this point of the cycle, he rated as the tenth-best available transfer and as the fourth-best available small forward.

With that, Reid was the highest-rated of four transfers to leave Alabama in the portal. The other three had already committed elsewhere with Mouhamed Dioubate (Kentucky), Jarin Stevenson (North Carolina), and Naas Cunningham (UNLV).
