It looks like one of Alabama's seniors from this past season will be back with the Crimson Tide for another year.

Forward Riley Norris is expected to get a medical redshirt and to be back playing for Alabama next season, according to sources.

The Albertville native missed most of last year due to a hip injury, only playing in nine games and not playing at all after Dec. 22.

Having Norris back will add to the Tide's front court depth.

Norris started 54 games during his first three years at Alabama, including 27 as a junior in 2016-17.

As a junior, Norris was third on the team in scoring (9.0 points per game) and led the Tide with 47 made 3-pointers.
