Tarris Bouie

Recruiting
Scouting Report
DATA MISMATCH: Tarris Bouie is not a football recruit. He is a four-star small forward in the 2026 BASKETBALL class (~No. 50-52 nationally) out of SPIRE Academy (Geneva, OH) who signed with the University of Alabama men's basketball program on November 12, 2025. No verifiable football evaluation, offers, or measurables exist because he does not play the sport at the recruited level.
Physical Profile
Reported as roughly 6'5" with a wing's frame suited to perimeter basketball. These dimensions are sourced from basketball recruiting profiles, not a football combine, so no football-relevant measurables (40 time, shuttle, position weight, arm length for a specific football position) are available or should be inferred.
Play Style
On the basketball court he projects as a perimeter forward (SF). There is no football film to evaluate; generating play-style analysis for football would be fabrication.
Strengths
- Elite basketball pedigree — top-50 national prospect in the 2026 hoops class per composite rankings (0.9813)
- High-major recruitment validated by an Alabama commitment over Texas, Ole Miss, Marquette, Georgetown and others
- SPIRE Academy background indicates exposure to a national-level prep development and competition environment
Areas to Improve
- Not applicable to football — this prospect is on a basketball track and no football development plan is meaningful
- Pipeline data hygiene: the record needs a corrected sport tag and position before any evaluation
College Projection
Projected as a high-major Division I men's basketball player at Alabama under Nate Oats. No football college projection exists.
Best Fit
An up-tempo, perimeter-oriented college BASKETBALL system — which is precisely why Alabama (Nate Oats' pace-and-space program) was the fit. He has no football scheme fit.
