All-Conference Guard Transfers to Alabama After Historic 2025–26 Season at Newberry
Rickell Brown is a high-intensity, 5'6" guard who just earned SAC Second-Team All-Conference honors after starting all 28 games for Newberry in the 2025–26 season, averaging 15.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists while shooting 75.0% from the free-throw line [1][3][5]. Her differentiators include elite two-way versatility with 51 steals and 14 blocks, plus the durability of logging 31.1 minutes per game as a primary offensive option [1][3]. Brown is a proven leader who helped Newberry secure 13 wins—the most in program history since 2020—and has now transferred to Alabama for her junior year in 2026–27, signaling she's a ready-fit for competitive teams needing scoring, defensive grit, and clutch free-throw shooting [1][5].
