Why Michigan’s Yaxel Lendeborg Sees Alabama’s Transfer Portal Snub as His Secret Weapon
CHICAGO, IL. — Yaxel Lendeborg will have a little extra motivation against Alabama in the Sweet 16.
Lendeborg played for the University of Alabama-Birmingham for two years in 2023-24 and 2024-25 before entering the NCAA Transfer Portal at the conclusion of last season. When he entered, he had hoped to stay in-state to play for Nate Oats and the Crimson Tide.

Eventually, he settled on Michigan.

“When I entered the transfer portal out of UAB, I was hoping to get recruited by Alabama. And when I didn’t, it kind of hurt me a little bit. Not in a way that I can say ‘I hate them.’ It just bothered me a little.”
