🚨 FROM OUR PROGRAM Where Are They Now: Ra’Sean Frederick Player | 2024–2026 Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Ra’Sean came to West Alabama looking for an opportunity to compete and finish his college basketball career the right way. During the 2025-26 season, Frederick helped the Tigers capture a GSC regular-season championship and earn an NCAA tournament berth. His individual accomplishments included First Team All-GSC and NABC First Team All-District honors. The relationships he built with his teammates are what he remembers most. "Honestly, it’s hard to pick just one memory. A lot of my favorite memories came from being around my teammates—being in the locker room, traveling, joking around, competing in practice and then going out and fighting for each other in games. Those relationships are what I’ll remember the most." WHAT DID UWA BASKETBALL TEACH HIM? "It taught me discipline, accountability, resilience, and the importance of staying consistent, even when things aren’t going your way. Basketball also taught me that talent can only take you so far. You have to be willing to work, sacrifice, and trust the process." WHERE IS HE NOW? Ra’Sean currently works with LKQ in the automotive and logistics industry in Georgia. He continues to pursue his professional goals while exploring his creative interests in music and fashion. HIS MESSAGE TO CURRENT PLAYERS: "When you put on that UWA jersey, you’re representing more than yourself. You’re representing your teammates, coaches, alumni, the university, and everybody who helped build the program before you. Take pride in it and enjoy it, because your college basketball career goes by faster than you think." WHAT DOES UWA BASKETBALL STILL MEAN TO HIM? "UWA Basketball will always be a part of me. It was a major chapter in my life and gave me experiences and relationships I’ll carry with me forever. I’m proud to say I played at UWA, and I’ll always support the program and the guys who come after me." @1rasean
