UA Crowns 2026 Homecoming Queen

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Kameron Baba was announced as the 2026 Homecoming Queen of The University of Alabama during the annual pep rally and bonfire on the UA Quad Oct. 23.

She is a first-generation student and senior from Gadsden majoring in marketing. Baba interned in Washington, D.C. over the summer as part of the 2025-2026 Capitol Scholars program and is a member of Capstone Men and Women. She is also a student officer in the Blackburn Institute.

As UA's homecoming queen, she will get to select an on-campus passion project to receive a donation from the Homecoming Queen Endowed Fund. She hopes her Better with Baba initiative, benefiting the Camellia Center, will bring students closer to much-needed resources.

"Centered around health, wellness and service, Better with Baba will connect students with valuable resources both on campus and throughout the Tuscaloosa community. We will work to bridge students with resources beyond campus, emphasize the importance of balancing physical and mental wellness and raise funds to benefit the Camellia Center," Baba said.

"Through projects such as a UA Wellness Week, Wellness Passport and various fundraisers benefiting the Camellia Center, Better with Baba will work to create a healthier, more connected and more supportive community. This will ultimately help us better the campus around us."

Baba will officially be crowned during halftime of Saturday's Alabama-Texas A&M football game, kicking off at 2:30 p.m.
