Mark Sears is headed to the pros.
After going undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft, the former Alabama men’s basketball guard agreed to a two-way deal with Milwaukee, UA announced.
The All-American guard spent the past three seasons playing for the Crimson Tide, leading Alabama to the Final Four in 2024 and the Elite Eight in 2025. Sears was also a key piece of the 2022-23 team that earned the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament and reached the Sweet 16.
Sears is a Muscle Shoals native. He first played for Ohio before returning to his home state. His 2,841 career points rank 19th in Division I history. Sears tallied 690 of those points this past season, the fourth-most for a single season in program history. One of his signature games: Sears made 10 triples to lead Alabama to a win over BYU in the Sweet 16. That was a program record for 3-pointers in an NCAA Tournament game.
1,950 of his points he scored at Alabama. That’s second-most in program history.
Crimson Tide coach Nate Oats was asked where Sears belongs in UA history after Alabama fell to Duke in the Elite Eight this past season.
“You’ve got to put him up there with the greats,” Oats said.
