“My basketball journey has been something that any student-athlete could only dream about. It has definitely come with its share of ups and downs but I was very fortunate to have such a beautiful support system to help me through some of my difficult moments and I think that’s what’s making this message so emotional but also so exciting to share with everyone.”
In three seasons with the Tide, Quinerly averaged 11.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 98 games (40 starts). He redshirted during the 2019-20 campaign after transferring from Villanova, where he spent one season.
