The 6-foot-3 guard averaged 14.0 points per game in 33 contests (32 starts) for Alabama, which finished first in the SEC and won the SEC tournament. The Crimson Tide earned a 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the Sweet 16, where they lost to Final Four-bound UCLA in overtime.
Shackelford entered his name in the transfer portal earlier this month, telling one outlet he was pursuing Ohio State, Oklahoma and Texas Tech as possible destinations.
