Alabama Crimson Tide point guard Aden Holloway plans to enroll in fall classes and rejoin the team next season pending the outcome of his legal case after his campus ban was reversed on Friday (April 3), his attorney, Jason Neff, confirmed to ESPN.
Holloway, 21, was found with 2.1 pounds of marijuana at his apartment at the time of his arrest last month, which forced him to miss the Crimson Tide's three NCAA Tournament games. The point guard can now attend classes and enroll in future courses, but ultimately, his future with the team will be determined by the outcome of his legal case.
"Although it's not Aden's call to make, given the opportunity, his intent is to play basketball next year," Neff told ESPN.
"This was bound to happen no matter what because it's a felony," Neff said about the indictment. "This is the normal process or procedure for any felony charge."
Holloway was officially indicted by a grand jury on a Class C felony drug possession charge, "not for personal use" on Thursday (April 2), after being arrested for felony drug possession charge and a failure to affix a tax stamp charge. The two felonies carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail and a $15,000 fine, however, Neff said the indictment was "procedural" and a necessary step in the process.
"This was bound to happen no matter what because it's a felony," Neff said while addressing the indictment via ESPN. "This is the normal process or procedure for any felony charge."
Holloway was previously involved in a traffic stop conducted by University of Alabama campus police, the spokesperson for the Tuscaloosa Police Department confirmed. The point guard averaged a career-best 16.8 points, 3.8 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 28.4 minutes per game during the 2025-26 season, ranking as the Tide's second leading scorer.
