UAB Women's Basketball Lands Elite Recruiting Class to Boost Birmingham Program

UAB's women's basketball program announced a strong 2025 recruiting class featuring four signees who will join the Blazers for the 2025-26 season. The additions of Sofia Howard, Mari Miller, Peyton Munoz, and Ashlyn Musial represent a carefully constructed class designed to provide versatility and championship-caliber talent across multiple positions.

"We are very excited about our 2025 class," UAB head coach Norton said of the signings. "Sofia, Mari, Peyton and Ashlyn are of the highest character and will help our program continue to compete and win championships on the court and in the classroom." The recruits were selected from nationwide and international ranks, underscoring the program's reach beyond Alabama's borders.

The timing of the signings positions UAB competitively within the broader college women's basketball landscape. According to recent recruiting data, numerous programs across multiple conferences have intensified their pursuit of elite talent, with Notre Dame, Duke, and Clemson leading national recruiting classes.

The 2025 class builds on UAB's continued investment in women's basketball prominence. As the program competes in Conference USA, these signings demonstrate the Blazers' commitment to attracting high-caliber student-athletes who can compete at the highest levels while maintaining academic excellence. The class will help UAB strengthen its roster depth and position the program for sustained success in conference play.
