Bristow, a 6-foot-8, 190-pound power forward from Wichita Falls, Texas, averaged 11.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game while shooting 46.1 percent from the floor and 32.8 percent from three-point range during his freshman season at Tarleton State. He started 19 games and appeared in 23 for the Texans last season.

Brostow was a three-star recruit from Holliday High School in Holliday, Texas. In high school, he ranked as the No. 66 power forward in the 2024 recruiting class. He held offers from Tarleton State, San Jose State, Arizona State, McNeese, Missouri State, Morehead State, Texas-Rio Grande Valley, UC Riverside, and UT-Arlington coming out of high school.

Bristow is the Crimson Tide's fourth addition via the transfer portal this season, and the seventh new Crimson Tide player standing at 6-foot-5 or taller. Every addition for Alabama has been 6-foot-5 or bigger, emphasizing the length that Nate Oats and Preston Murphy have been targeting for the Crimson Tide this cycle.
