Abrams is a graduate student from Lafayette, La. and is entering her fifth season with the Tide.

Abrams has appeared on the SEC Academic Honor Roll three times (2019, 2020, 2021) and was named a member of the SEC Community Service Team and SEC Women’s Basketball Leadership Council this past year.

Abrams and her teammate Jada Rice founded a registered club at The University of Alabama for student-athletes called Project I.D, a safe space for student-athletes who identify with, or are allies for, minority groups, giving them the opportunity to voice their thoughts and ideas to create an inclusive student-athlete experience.

During the 2021-22 season, Abrams ranked second on the team in scoring with 15.2 ppg, despite going through an injury in the middle of the season. Abrams joined the 1,000 point club on March 21, 2022, after her 19-point performance against Tulane in the second round of the WNIT.
