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.

Campbell is projected to be a late first round draft pick. He is the third Alabama player to declare for the NFL Draft, joining quarterback Jalen Milroe and offensive lineman Tyler Booker.
