Five-star recruit Zion Green has committed to Alabama, he told ESPN's Jeff Borzello and Paul Biancardi.

The 6-foot-9 forward is Nate Oats' third five-star commit in the last four recruiting classes. He's the No. 16 overall recruit on the ESPN 100.

Green chose Alabama over offers from Kansas, Ole Miss, and Oklahoma.

Green joins 23rd-ranked prospect Chase Lumpkin in the Crimson Tide's 2027 recruiting class. Green is the No. 2 power forward in his class.

"They've stuck with me throughout this entire process, even when I wasn't what I am now," he told Borzello and Biancardi. "They attended almost every one of my games. They made me a priority."

Green played with fellow five-star recruit DeMarcus Henry in high school. Henry committed to North Carolina on Friday.

Alabama made its fourth straight Sweet 16 last season but failed to advance further. Oats guided the program to its first Final Four in 2024.
