Alabama guard Mark Sears made history this season, becoming the first-ever Crimson Tide player to receive unanimous first team All-American honors.

Sears was named a first team All-American by both the NABC and the USBWA this morning. He was named to the AP All-America first team yesterday, and named a first-teamer by Sporting News last week, encapsulating the four recognized outlets by the NCAA for consensus and unanimous status.

Sears is the third player in program history to be a consensus All-American. He was a consensus second team All-American himself last season, Brandon Miller was a consensus second-teamer in 2023, and Leon Douglas was a consensus second-teamer in 1975.

Sears is averaging 18.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 4.9 assists during the 2024-25 campaign, helping lead the Crimson Tide to a 25-8 record and the 2-seed in the East Region of the NCAA Tournament. The native of Muscle Shoals currently ranks No. 4 on Alabama’s all-time program scoring list with 1,876 points in a Tide uniform.

The Crimson Tide legend’s career will come to a close at the conclusion of Alabama’s run in the NCAA Tournament. The Tide received the 2-seed in the East Region, and will open play on Friday against 15-seed Robert Morris in Cleveland. The game will tip off at 11:40 a.m. CT on truTV.
