Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell will forgo his senior season and enter the 2025 NFL Draft. The First Team All SEC selection made the announcement Thursday on his social media accounts.
A former five-star recruit out of high school, Campbell was a two-year starter for Alabama beginning in the 2023 season. This past season was a career year that saw his draft stock soar after he led the team with 117 tackles. He also posted 12.5 tackles for loss and five sacks.
