Alabama's Labaron Philon named third-team All-American by the AP

Alabama guard Labaron Philon was named to the 2025-26 Associated Press All-America Team on Tuesday. The Crimson Tide’s leading scorer got a third-team nod from the organization.

Philon, a sophomore, enters the NCAA Tournament averaging 21.7 points, 4.7 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game. He is shooting 50.9% from the field, 40.2% from 3-point range and 78.7% at the free-throw line. Philon has scored 20 or more points in 19 of his 30 appearances.

Philon was one of three players from the SEC to make the AP All-America Team, joining Arkansas’ Darius Acuff, a first-team selection, and Florida’s Thomas Haugh (third team).

The AP is one of four outlets that select consensus teams, along with the National Association of Basketball Coaches, Sporting News and United States Basketball Writers Association.

Sporting News also named Philon a third-team All-American.
