a rugged, 1,000-point, glass-crashing forward with pro upside
In the 2023-24 season, Damian Forrest was one of North Alabama’s most reliable frontcourt anchors, averaging 10.4 points and a team-high 8.2 rebounds per game while finishing with 1,000 career points, earning ASUN All-Tournament honors and multiple academic accolades. He started 92 career games for the Lions, brings physical rebounding, efficient finishing, and real toughness around the rim, and even posted a 15-rebound game plus a 30-point, 19-rebound tournament run. For a team needing a mature, high-motor forward who affects winning without flashy stats, he’s the kind of “does-the-dirty-work” guy coaches love.
