Rutgers transfer Cliff Omoruyi has committed to Alabama for his final college season, choosing the Crimson Tide over North Carolina, Kansas State, and Georgetown. Omoruyi, a 6-foot-11 center, has been a three-year starter at Rutgers, where he averaged 10.4 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.9 blocks per game last season. His decision, announced on a set date, comes after a series of visits to potential schools, with North Carolina being the last he visited. Omoruyi's move is seen as a significant gain for Alabama, enhancing their roster with one of the top big men in the transfer portal and addressing a previous weak point in their lineup. His performance metrics from Rutgers, including a 51.2% field goal percentage, underscore his potential impact at Alabama. Coach Nate Oats views this addition as boosting Alabama's prospects as a national title contender.
