Indiana added former Alabama center Aiden Sherrell from the NCAA transfer portal, multiple media outlets reported on Wednesday.

Sherrell will head to Bloomington, Ind., after averaging 11.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 34 games (all starts) last season with the Crimson Tide.

Listed at 6-foot-10 and 255 pounds, Sherrell shot 53.9% from the floor and 33.8% from 3-point range. He twice blocked eight shots in a game last season.

Sherrell took to social media earlier on Wednesday to spill the beans that he was leaving Tuscaloosa, Ala.

"I want to sincerely thank the University of Alabama, coach (Nate) Oats, and the entire coaching staff and support team for believing in me and giving me the chance to be a part of such a special program," Sherrell wrote on Instagram. "The experience, knowledge, and relationships I've built during my time in Tuscaloosa are something I will always carry with me.

"To my teammates, thank you for pushing me every day and making this journey unforgettable. The brotherhood we created goes far beyond basketball, and I'm grateful for every moment we've shared."
